Hi Gregory,

You could use either one of the following expressions:

In[1]:=
lst = Table[Random[Integer, {0, 200}], {12}, {4}];

In[2]:=
TableForm[lst]

Out[2]//TableForm=
49    152   110   46

65    54    45    30

42    147   189   22

145   165   139   58

125   138   153   192

77    199   195   91

103   59    92    97

135   118   170   190

117   196   182   45

81    32    183   145

74    26    82    83

72    196   129   83

In[3]:=
Mean /@ (Transpose[lst /. x_ /; x <= 100 -> 0] /.
    0 -> Sequence[])

Out[3]=
       1311  1450  527
{125, ----, ----, ---}
        8     9     3

In[4]:=
Mean /@ (Select[#1, #1 > 100 & ] & ) /@ Transpose[lst]

Out[4]=
       1311  1450  527
{125, ----, ----, ---}
        8     9     3

Best regards,
Jean-Marc
