I need to total col, but pick up number in other col. if not 0

I have two columns of figures i.e. Col. G has figures in each cell and have
totalled them and averaged them. In Col. F most of the cells have 0, but if
a cell is populated with a figure other than 0, then I need to use that
figure instead of the figure in Row G.

Entered as an array using the key combination of CTRL,SHIFT,ENTER (not just
ENTER):

=SUM(IF(F1:F10<>0,F1:F10,G1:G10))

=AVERAGE(IF(F1:F10<>0,F1:F10,G1:G10))

I'd make another column and then put a formula like this in it:
=IF(F1=0,G1,F1) and copy it down the length of your data, it will look at F,
if it is a zero it will put the value of G in the cell, if not it will put
the value of F in the cell, you can then total and average that column.

Thank you so much. I got it to work perfectly.
