Calculating averages - Excel 2002
 

Good evening,

I'm using this formula to calculate monthly averages based on cell G3: =G3/MONTH(TODAY())
and it works fine if the year begins in January.
Is there a way to calculate the average if the year begins in say, March?

Regards

Try this...

=G3/(MONTH(NOW())+IF(MONTH(NOW())<3,10,-2))

Where the month numbers would be:

Jan = month 11
Feb = month 12
Mar = month 1
Apr = month 2
...
Dec = month 10
