hello collin,

you may try this it may fit your need,

=SUM(IF(NOT(ISERROR(FIND("<",A1:A100,1))),(RIGHT(A 1:A100,LEN(A1:A100)-FIND("<",A1:A100,1)))*{1}))*1/2

Does anyone know if I can do this...

I have a column of values that I would like to find the average of,
but
some of the cells contain numbers with a < in front of them.
The average should use 1/2 the value of the numbers with < in front of
them.

Thanks in advance for your help!
