Auto average function
In Excel there is an autosum function. When you are in an empty cell below a
range of data this function puts the sum of the range above into the empty cell. I was wondering if it is possible to adapt this function so that, instead of a sum, it calculates a different statistical value like average, number, stdev? My idea would be an extra button in the toolbar with auto... which opens a checkbox menu from which you can choose the statistical function (sum, stdev, average etc) that should apply to the range. ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the suggestions with the most votes.

There is a way...if you go to insert--function, the category dropdown box and look at statistical. then you get all sorts of functions you are looking for... =average(c1:c23) =stdev(c1:c23)... for example -- rae820 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ rae820's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=24135 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=377672 |

I'm using XL 2003 and it has the exact feature you are asking for. It is the dropdown arrow next to the AutoSum 'E' on the tool bar. It offers: Sum Average Count Max Min ...plus a link to the Insert Function dialog box.

I have now found a vb workaround that des the trick for me. The code is as follows: Sub VariableAverage() Dim strFrom As String Dim strTo As String strFrom = ActiveCell.Offset(-1, 0).Row If strFrom = "" Then Exit Sub strTo = ActiveCell.Offset(-1, 0).End(xlUp).Row If strTo = "" Then Exit Sub ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=average(R" & strFrom & "C:R" & strTo & "C)" End Sub |
