Calculating the mean of a non-continuous data set

Hi all,

I am a total beginner with MatLab and I am trying to caclulate the means of a (223x20) array, however the majority of columns do not have a continous data set i.e only have 60 out of 223 data entries.

As a result i am seeing NaN for the majority of my means when using the basic mean(A) function.

Would really appreciate any help!

Thanks! i found

MeanX=mean(X,'omitnan');

to be useful as well.
