caluculate an average based on 2 criteria
 

I need to caluculate an average based on 2 criteria. Using the example
below, if A="brian" (F1) and D=not blank, then average all numbers in D
that have F1 ("brian") in column A. So in the example below, it would
average D1 & D4 (not include D2).

HELP anyone! Thanks.

Database (Sheet1)

1 brian 08/01/05 09/01/05 30

Wouldn't it need to average D5 also?

I would suggest a lookup formula.

Hi!

Try this entered as an array using the key combo of CTRL,SHIFT,ENTER:

=IF(SUMIF(Sheet1!A$1:A$5,F1,Sheet1!D$1:D$5),AVERAG E(IF(Sheet1!A$1:A$5=F1,IF(Sheet1!D$1:D$5<"",Sheet 1!D$1:D$5))),0)

Copy down as needed.
