Average Goal Calculation
I am trying to average 35 every week in my Sunday school.
Last week, I had 32, the week before that 36. I would like a formula to tell me how many I need on the next Sunday, to average 35 for the year. All of the weeks are in column c (C2:C53) I would like 1 cell at the bottom of column c to have the answer continually update itself when I insert Sunday's attendance. What do I do?

Average Goal Calculation
Heya Thomas
what you need is Goal Seek but you will have to do it weekly. in the table below go to cell F2 (average formula) and in the DATA Menu What-if analysis click Goal Seek. in the box that open - Set cell is you selected cell (F2) To value put 35 By changing cell C4 Enter when calculation finished cick OK. you will see in cell C4 that you need 37 more to make your average 35. just paste this value in cell D4 and when you know the actual attendence just overwrite the 37 in cell C4 this way you also check your progress viz required and actual. A B C D E F 1 Attnd Attnd Req Avg Avg Req 2 Week1 36 35 =AVERAGE($C$2:$C$53) =AVERAGE($C$2:$C$53) 3 Week2 32 34 =AVERAGE($C$2:$C$53) 4 Week3 37 =AVERAGE($C$2:$C$53) "Thomas Almanza" wrote: I am trying to average 35 every week in my Sunday school.

Average Goal Calculation
another way (without going to GoalSeek):
in C1: =(1+COUNTA(C2:C53))*(35-SUM(C2:C53)/COUNTA(C2:C53))+SUM(C2:C53)/COUNTA (C2:C53) HIH On 13 Sty, 06:53, Thomas Almanza wrote: I am trying to average 35 every week in my Sunday school.

Please Clarify
I have been trying to understand this principle but need you to clarify your instructions.
Example: C1 2010 (Year) To Avg. 35 (Title) C2 36 Formula (Need 34) C3 32 Formula (Need 37) C4 34 Formula (Need 38) The formula needs to adjust calculating all the weeks prior to it to be able to avg. 35 for the year Thank-you walrus wrote: Heya Thomaswhat you need is Goal Seek but you will have to do it weekly. 13-Jan-10 Heya Thomas what you need is Goal Seek but you will have to do it weekly. in the table below go to cell F2 (average formula) and in the DATA Menu What-if analysis cick OK. you will see in cell C4 that you need 37 more to make your average 35. just paste this value in cell D4 and when you know the actual attendence just overwrite the 37 in cell C4 this way you also check your progress viz required and actual.

Error in formula
Jarek didn't say
=3D(1+COUNTA(C2:C53))*(35-SUM(C2:C53)/COUNTA(C2:C53))+SUM(C2:C53)/COUNTA (C2:C53) He said =(1+COUNTA(C2:C53))*(35-SUM(C2:C53)/COUNTA(C2:C53))+SUM(C2:C53)/COUNTA (C2:C53) I don't know where you got the 3D from. Perhaps it was introduced by EggHeadCafe? You'd be better off accessing the newsgroup directly using a news server and a newsreader. -- David Biddulph Thomas Almanza wrote: Please resend your formula because for some reaon excel is saying there is an error in it.
