I need to take an average of several variables in a row, but I want to average of the row only if there are at least 10 variables without 0 as their observation. The data looks like this:

PersonID  1990 1991 1992 1993 1994 1995 etc...
1               0       0       3      3      5       6
2               1       1       5      3      0       7
3               1       1       2      1      4       3 
4               0       0       0      0      5       5

does anyone have an idea how to do this? I've tried egen and rowmean() but I am not sure how to code for if a row has more at least 10 observations > 0

Thanks,
Nick
