Default Condensing data from 3D to 2D

This is an ideal application for Pivot Table.
No formula or code is required.
Assume your data looks like this:
Z1 Z2 Z3 Z4
Y1 27 81 20 55
Y1 39 21 93 23
Y1 75 63 86 37
Y1 82 73 61 22
Y2 43 92 86 24
Y2 67 36 67 64
Y2 44 22 32 96
Y2 31 40 38 91
Y3 91 60 37 17
Y3 19 86 31 37
Y3 35 72 84 88
Y3 76 93 58 27
Data Pivot Table Multiple Consolidation Ranges
Range: Select the above 13 x 5 array
Layout: DATA = Average of Value

The result will look like this:

Y1 55.75 59.50 65.00 34.25
Y2 46.25 47.50 55.75 68.75
