average and if
I have a column of dollar amounts and a column of categories. I want to
average all cells in the dollar amount column that equal a certain text. For instance, I want the average of a range of cells in Col A if Col B = HOTEL. This seems like it should be simple, but it is eluding me. |

average and if
One way:
Array-entered (CTRL-SHIFT-ENTER or CMD-RETURN): =AVERAGE(IF(B1:B100="HOTEL",A1:A100)) An alternative: =SUMIF(B:B,"HOTEL",A:A)/COUNTIF(B:B,"HOTEL") In article , ccparch57 wrote: I have a column of dollar amounts and a column of categories.

This array function works =AVERAGE(IF(B:B="hotel",A:A,""))
Redeemer to commit with CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER This non-array (commit with ENTER) also works =SUMIF(B:B,"hotel",A:A)/COUNTIF(B:B,"hotel") And this non-array works only in XL2007 =AVERAGEIF(B1:B7,"hotel",A1:A7) best wishes -- Bernard V Liengme www.stfx.ca/people/bliengme remove caps from email "ccparch57" wrote in message ...

Your first formula also only works in XL2007 (since it uses an entire column).
