Excel - Formulas
Bob
I don't think this works. I don't have a specfic "Report Name" that I am
searching, only a "Department name"...here is an example:
Report ID DEPT # OF DAYS
5xt Admin 2
5xz HR 5
4rv Admin 7
I just want to average the amount of days for each department - so for
example average the Admin Department above...does this make sense?
"Bob Phillips" wrote:
=AVERAGE(IF((report_range="report
name")*(dept_range="department_name"),days_range))
which is an array formula, it should be committed with Ctrl-Shift-Enter, not
just Enter.
Excel will automatically enclose the formula in braces (curly brackets), do
not try to do this manually.
When editing the formula, it must again be array-entered.

Ok. I am having trouble devising a formula for the following problem:
I have a table that has a column that identifies a report name (key), a
column entitled DEPARTMENT (report is assigned to), and the number of days
it
took for the report to be completed.
How can I average the amount of days it took reports to be completed for
each department, without actually sorting the table and creating a new
table?
Is there some LOOKUP formula or ARRAY formula that I can use to look for a
specific DEPARTMENT name, take a number in adajcent cell and add it into
an
average function for the rest of the cells that correspond to that
department
name?
Thanks for any help.
