Default Complex Averages

But if you are putting numbers into random cells in the range, how
would you know which were the last 5 or last 10 entered? Do you not
mean last by date of entry, but rather last in the sequence of data?

Hey there. If there are only 5 numbers at some point, the 5 and 10 would be
the same. I hope that helps. Basically, over the course of 3 or so months,
these numbers will begin to be added to the rows and by the end, there will
be somewhere around 30 numbers out of 40 potential leaving 10 random spaces
in each column assuming 40 max. So the last 5 and last 10 averages will
develop and deviate as more data is entered.

Thanks

Hello, I need to design a spreadsheet that averages the last 5 and last 10
numbers in a row of up to 40 numbers. There will be various random spaces
between the entered numbers. So for example, if there are 15 numbers
spread
over 40 rows, I would need to average the last 5 which could each have a
few
spaces between them. There will be no 0's or negatives in the data.
