Is it possible to compute an average given a criteria.

For example, I have some data like this:

30 Day High30 Day Vol
267.22 46.11
79.24 35.29
26.24 68.58
42.39 58.24
53.94 48.04
70.70 34.96
151.13 41.55
32.77 23.85
30.87 27.88

I wanted to compute an average of ColB if ColA was equal to or greater than
75.

In this case, the average would be 40.98

Thank you in advance.

This is an ARRAY formula that must be entered using ctrl+shift+enter
=AVERAGE(IF((A2:A1075),B2:B10))

=AVERAGE(IF(A:A75,B:B))
This is an array formula that must be entered with:
CNTRL-SHFT-ENTER
rather than just the ENTER key.

If you have Excel 2007+, then use non-array formula
=AVERAGEIF(A2:A10,"=75",B2:B10)
