ColumnA alternates between text "AM" and "PM"
ColumnC contains corresponding numbers/values
I want two formulas to put in Column E:
1) Average "AM" values
2) Average "PM" values

Should be simple, but I can't get it right.
Any help?

David,

Try the following array formula:

=AVERAGE(IF(A1:A5="am",C1:C5,FALSE))

Change the ranges to suit your needs. Since this is an array
formula, you must press CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER rather than just ENTER
when you first enter the formula and whenever you edit it later.
If you do this properly, Excel will display the formula enclosed
in curly braces {}.

You should be able to use Sum/Count, as in:

=sumif(C:C,"AM",A:A)/countif(A:A,"AM")

Try this:

=SUMIF(A1:A100,"AM",C1:C100)/COUNTIF(A1:A100,"AM")

=SUMIF(A1:A100,"PM",C1:C100)/COUNTIF(A1:A100,"PM")

Are these real times that excel sees at time, if so

=AVERAGE(IF(C1:C30<=TIME(11,59,59),C1:C30))

for AM

=AVERAGE(IF(C1:C30=TIME(12,,),C1:C30))


for PM

both entered with ctrl + shift & enter

I had to change it to:
=SUMIF(A:A,"AM",C:C)/COUNTIF(A:A,"AM")
changing "AM" to "PM" for second forumla

I chose your solution because the range will grow.
Many thanks.

Yep, that works for a fixed range, but I will be adding to the range, so I
chose Fred's solution. Thanks for your help.

Easily changed to match my "fixed" version of Fred's offering to allow for
unlimited expansion. Many thanks.

I'm glad it worked for you. Sorry about my dyslexic Sumif function.
