Maybe a mod of this.
this is an ARRAY formula so must be entered/edited with ctrl+shift+enter

=AVERAGE(IF(H2:H1010,H2:H10))

I am looking to find the average of a column of numbers, but the specific
cells in that column depend on the data in another column. I want to
average the CPI of a column of project CPIs, but only if that project is
in
the active status.

An example of my data will look like this:

ProjectName CPI Phase
Project1 .9 Active
Project2 .6 Inactive
Project3 1.1 Active


I need the formula to average Project1 and Project3's CPI because they are
active.

Thanks
John
