AVERAGEIF AND SUMIF AND COUNTIF
This appears to work but it gives me a negative nubmer?????? Do you know why?
And if you could be so kind to explain I still don't understand the
MONTH()+2/3? I like to know what it is I'm doing/asking for. THANKS AGAIN.

If you want year as well
=AVERAGE(IF((INT((MONTH(B2:B20)+2)/3)=4)*(YEAR(B2:B20=2004)),C2:C20-B2:B20))
for 4th QTR FY04

Forgive me if I'm being dense. I'm trying to comprehend. Okay, so when I
want the average of the days open for a single fiscal year? How do I get
the
answer for 1st quarter Fiscal Year 2004, 2nd Quarter FY04, 3rd QTR FY04,
4th
QTR FY04, 1st QTR FY05, 2nd QTR FY05, 3rd QTR FY05, 4th QTR FY05, 1st QTR
FY06, 2nd QTR FY06, etc..........

Kathi,
You mentioned that you wanted to average by quarter, so the
INT((MONTH(B2:B20)+2)/3) works out the quarter for each date in B2:B20.
The
=4 is just an example testing for quarter 4, Oct, Nov, Dec.

Thank you so much for the response. I think this is the type of
formula
I
was looking for but if you could just clarify in my mind, please. I
understand =AVERAGE(IF but am not clear on why finding the MONTH
then
rounding down (INT than adding +2) and dividing by /3) and
this
part really confuses me =4, I understand that finding the
difference
between relates to the average number of days open but am not clear
how
???
If were more clear then I could definitely adapte this for y use. So
for
my
use I understand =AVERAGE(C2:C20-B2:B20) BUT ONLY IF
B2:B20=10/01/2003
AND
ALSO IF B2:B20<=12/31/2003
so if there is a way to define the 1st or 2nd etc. quarter other than
this
I
could really use that.
THANKS AGAIN FOR YOUR TIME

Kathi,
I am not sure what to do when the start date is in one quarter and the
end
date is in another, but assuming you count from the start date
quarter,
try
this
=AVERAGE(IF(INT((MONTH(B2:B20)+2)/3)=4,C2:C20-B2:B20))
