averaging from another page
 

I am trying to average certain employees from worksheet 1 into a formula on
worksheet 2. I must be able to specify which employees to only average from.
If another person is added to worksheet 1 i would like worksheet 2 to also
portray the change.
example

worksheet 1
John Doe plumber 10
Jerry Jones technician 12
Tom Tanner electrician 15
Luis Rodriguez plumber 20
Joe Daniels electrician 10


worksheet 2
average wage rate for plumbers $15

averaging from another page
 

One way:

=Sumif(B1:b5,"plumber",C1:C5)/Countif(B1:B5,"plumber)

=AVERAGE(IF(Sheet1!B1:B100="plumber",Sheet1!C1:C10 0))

which is an array formula, so commit with Ctrl-Shift-Enter
