Averaging over columns while ignoring zero entries












5












$begingroup$


I have:



list = {{1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 0, 9}, {4, 0, 3, 5, 0, 2, 0}, 
{1, 0, 2, 2, 2, 4, 0}}


I want to calculate the average but without considering the 0s.



The result should be:



Do[
array = list[[All, i]];
total = Total[array];
cnt = Count[array, 0];
result[[i]] = total/(Length@array - cnt);,
{i, 1, Length@result}
];

result // N

{2., 3., 3., 4., 4., 3., 9.}


How can I replace the Do loop?
