LibreOffice Calc Questions answered

Count number of cells that match certain criteria

Count number of cells with dates with month is January: =SUMPRODUCT(1*(MONTH(A1:A20)=1)). Due to the fact that empty cells are treated as dates in December, the correct formulae for December will be =SUMPRODUCT((A2:A22<>"")*(MONTH(A2:A22)=12)).

Calculate average for non-zero cells

=AVERAGEIF(C2:C13,"<>"&0,C2:C13)

How to check if cell has a specific background color?

There is no direct way to determine (in a formula) what formatting has been applied to a cell, however user can define a macro that returns this information: =IF(CELL_BACKCOLOR(SHEET(); ROW(); 1) = 0; "I am black"; "I have another color")
