Default How to calculate avg from various rows

Hello! Pls excuse if this is a repost. I was logged in, and after I clicked
on Post, the stupid thing wanted me to verify my email addr and my identitiy
again, and I had to log back in, so I'm posting again - ARGH.


I've been searching for hours and just can't find what I need. I found many
articles from Biff, but haven't found examples that meet my criteria and
scenario, so I'm turning to you all, 'cuz I believe there's a solution out
there somewhere!

I'm not too experienced with Excel and formula's, nor the names of some of
the items/examples I saw, but if given some things to try, I will. Thanks in
advance for the assistance :)

I have csv files that convert into excel, of which there are columns with
the date, time, and certain #'s in many other columns. I am only interested
in the avg from one particular column - let's say it's column G. There are
about 2600 rows currently, and will grow over time.

Each row has a different time, but it's based on the 24 hr clock/time. For
example, row 5 starts with 00:00, row 6 has 01:00, row 7 has 02:00, row 12 is
07:00, row 18 is 13:00, row 28 is 23:00, and then row 29 starts 00:00 again,
and keeps doing that, for the most part. Some rows skip some times due to
other things.

I know how to get the avg from all the times of/over all of the 2600 rows
right now, for column G - go to the AutoSum, highlight all the rows in that
column, and no pblm.

I can also sort the times, so for example, if I only want to see all the
times that are 22:00, I can see that, and the #'s for those times show up in
column G, which they should.

However, since the time of 22:00 isn't in rows (for example) 20, 21, 22, but
rather 20, 44, 68, etc., (since it's a 24 hr clock), when I use the AutoSum,
and just select the rows that show up in column G, just for the time of
22:00, the #'s shown are as follows: (G3:G2600), and I do NOT want that. I
was expecting to see just the rows that have the time of 22:00, but it showed
me ALL rows.

I also found that I can do a special avg (or something to that effect),
where I can manually put in up to 30 different rows, and get the avg for
those rows, but the option won't let me put in more than 30 rows, and I don't
want to have to do that for all the rows with just a certain time that I want
to select - it would take way too long, even if the option would allow up to
1000 rows, for example.

Example of what I see after filtering for a particular time, that I then am
trying to get the average of column G for all rows shown for time 22:00:

Row # Time #'s I'm trying to get avg from, in Column G
20 22:00 10
44 22:00 38
68 22:00 18

and so on....

I don't know how to create a formula to get the avg for just the rows that
have a certain time in it. Can it be done, and if so, how??? Please provide
exact syntax, 'cuz that's what I will put in, and try.

Again, thanks in advance for your assistance!

Regards,
Paul

Default How to calculate avg from various rows

It sounds like you're using autofilter?

If so, use the SUBTOTAL function:

=SUBTOTAL(1,G5:G2600)

Make sure you put the formula in a row that is outside of the filtered area!
I always put subtotals above the data.

Or, you can try this array formula** :

Assume times are in column B:

=AVERGE(IF(HOUR(B5:B2600)=22,G5:G2600))

It'll be a little different for 12:00 AM (00:00)** :

=AVERGE(IF((ISNUMBER(B5:B2600))*(HOUR(B5:B2600)=0) ,G5:G2600))

** array formulas need to be entered using the key combination of
CTRL,SHIFT,ENTER (not just ENTER)

Default How to calculate avg from various rows

Thank you T Valko (Biff?). I saw Bob's answer first, and that did the trick.
I'm not sure I understand all the items you have in your answer, but at least
I got it to work with Bob's answer, and I appreciate you supplying one too!
I have copied it and will try it out later, for in working with Bob's answer,
I can't just copy the formula and paste it into other worksheets. I'm finding
I have to edit each and every line in each worksheet, otherwise I get a
Value, or other errors, and that's very time consuming, for there's 24 hours
in each worksheet, and I have 25 worksheets to do :(

Thanks again!

Regards,
Paul

I don't see another reply to this thread. If you have something that works
that's all that counts!
