averaging data in multiple columns
Try this...
A10 = dogs
B10 = cats
=AVERAGE(INDEX(B2:M4,MATCH(A10,A2:A4,0),0),INDEX(B 2:M4,MATCH(B10,A2:A4,0),0))

Sorry. 1 more question. What if I want to take the average of both
"DOGS"
and "CATS" sold?
Thanks,
Brad

Ok, the formula I suggested will do just that.
Just change the range/cell references to suit your layout.

Yes. Data in columns B, C, D and E do represent months. What I'm
trying
to
do for example is see what the average number of "CATS" sold is during
these
4 months. I'd like create a formula that looks up "CATS" and tells me
the
average is 150 based on a data range which would do the calculation
(200+300+100+0)/4.

It's not real clear what you're wanting to do.

See if this does what you want...
Data in the range A2:M4
A10 = Cats
=AVERAGE(INDEX(B2:M4,MATCH(A10,A2:A4,0),0))

I'm looking for a formula to lookup criteria in column A and average
the
results in columns B, C, D, E, etc.
For example I would like to know the average of how many "CATS" have
been
sold
in a given year and I will be adding addtional months as time
progresses
and
do not want to have to adjust my range or formula each time a new
months
worth of data is added. For example.
column A column B column C column D column E
DOGS 100 200 150 50
CATS 200 300 100 0
FISH 50 100 200 100
Any help is truly appreciated.
Thanks,
Brad
