I need to convert between high frequency (for example, daily) and low
frequency (annual) data. Ideally I would like the ability to do this on an
average basis, end of period basis, beginning of period basis, etc. Is this
possible?

Hi hello:

It is very easy using auto filter. Let's say your dates are in column A in
A2 thru A355 and you data is in column B in B2 thru B355 with header cells in
A1 and B1. In C2 enter:
=TEXT(A2,"ddd")
In D2 enter:
=TEXT(A2,"d")

copy C2 and D2 down. You will see:
