Getting a mean of only the numbers

I have a dataset and I want the mean value of the numbers. There are a lot of NaN-values in there and I want to ignore those (the code

mean(data)

now gives 'NaN' as answer) How do I do this?

Evelyn, use

 mean(data(~isnan(data)))

Use nanmean

That's another option. You need to have access to the Statistics Toolbox though.
