Default Weighted Average Using Row Number


Hi Everyone.

I was wondering if someone could help me please regarding a formula to
calculate a weighted average.

I have a sheet with 30 columns however the number of rows can vary, and
the number of figures in a column can vary as well (ie some cells can be
blank). I've attached a gif of the layout make it easier.

I am trying to work out a way, where, I can obtain a weighted average
for each column. The figures in the bottom row, should have a greater
weight than those in the top rows (because that info is more recent).
At the moment im just using the median formula (the blue row), however
a weighted average I beleive would provide more accurate information.

I tried using sumproduct with count and counta but all i got was errors
:(

If anyone could help me, it would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers
W
