formula help please
 

I have this formula thta looks at cells A8:A427 for a date which is the same
as that in cell D1, and then sums all the coresponding cells from cells
S8:S247.
What I want is NOT the total sum of these cells in S8:S247 but the AVERAGE.

My formula I am using is

=AVERAGE(SUMIF(Stats!A8:A427,--TEXT(D1,"MYYYY"),Stats!R8:R427))

Can anybody explain where I am going wrong and/or suggest a new formula
many thanks

Try

=AVERAGE(IF(Stats!A8:A427=--TEXT(D1,"MYYYY"),Stats!R8:R427))

this is an array formula, so commit with Ctrl-Shift-Enter
