I enter my blood pressure readings for the month in one column. Is there a
formula to average them? i.e. 120/80 130/76 128/77 ______ 126/78 is avg Thanks, Harry |

Hi Harry,
Yes, there is a formula to average your blood pressure readings in one column. Here are the steps:
That's it! The formula will automatically calculate the average of all the readings in the specified range. You can also adjust the range of cells to include more or fewer readings as needed.

Hi Harry
with you blood pressure readings in A2:A4 the following array formula will give it to you (needs to be entered with control & shift & enter, not just enter) =AVERAGE(VALUE(LEFT(A2:A4,3)))&"/"&ROUND(AVERAGE(VALUE(RIGHT(A2:A4,2))),0) Cheers JulieD "hjvn1302" wrote in message ...

Hi
it would be much easier if you could split it in two separate column (and then using AVERAGE). But if you have to use it this way try: Use the following array formula (entered with CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER): =ROUND(AVERAGE(--LEFT(A1:A3,FIND("/",A1:A3)-1)),0) & "/" & ROUND(AVERAGE(--MID(A1:A3,FIND("/",A1:A3)+1,10)),0) "hjvn1302" wrote: I enter my blood pressure readings for the month in one column.

Hi
just a note, Frank's formula is more flexible than mine (i've assumed that the top value is always 3 digits and the bottom always 2) .. so you're better off going with his formula.

I just tested Frank's on my program and it works really well. You may want
to also use MAX & MIN. =ROUND(MAX(--LEFT($K$8:$K$41,FIND("/",$K$8:$K$41)-1)),0) & "/" &ROUND(MAX(--MID($K$8:$K$41,FIND("/",$K$8:$K$41)+1,10)),0) Be sure to ARRAY enter. However, I have a program (free for asking OFF LIST ONLY!!!) that separates into Systolic Diastolic Pulse 125 67 68 126 64 73 123 70 73 and then you can see the charts I made. -- Don Guillett SalesAid Software "hjvn1302" wrote in message ...

Hi JulieD,
Your formula worked out great, however, my average goes out to 10 decimal places on the upper number. How can I correct?
