averaging data in multiple columns
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 |

It's not real clear what you're wanting to do.
Do columns B, C, D and E represent months? 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)) -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "brad1824" wrote in message ...

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. "T.

Ok, the formula I suggested will do just that.
Just change the range/cell references to suit your layout. -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "brad1824" wrote in message ... Yes. Data in columns B, C, D and E do represent months.

Sorry. 1 more question. What if I want to take the average of both "DOGS"
and "CATS" sold? Thanks, Brad "T. Valko" wrote: Ok, the formula I suggested will do just that.

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)) -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "brad1824" wrote in message ... Sorry. 1 more question.
