5. Select the Scores Tab (A)

6. Enter Absent in the Count as Zero column (A)

7. Click the OK button (B)

8. Enter Absent instead of a score. The score will average as a zero

If the student makes up the assignment, record the grade (in place of the Absent) and the spreadsheet will re-calculate, using the score.
Another common use of the Count as Zero function would be to add a "NHI" code to indicate a student has Not Handed In an assignment. The assignment would be averaged as zero until a new score replaces the the NHI.
