Average using alphanumerics
I have places in a spreadsheet column 1st, 2nd, 3rd... How do I get an
average to show those alphanumeric characters? I can do straight numerals but with the alpha included it has me baffled, which doesn't take much... Thanks! |

Hi!
Assuming that these are all typical ordinal numbers, try this array formula and enter with the key combo of CTRL,SHIFT,ENTER: =AVERAGE(--LEFT(A1:A10,LEN(A1:A10)-2)) Biff -----Original Message----- I have places in a spreadsheet column 1st, 2nd, 3rd...

Yes, I can strip them but was wondering if there was a way to show. I guess I
could create a work area that defines 1=1st, 2=2nd and so on...

Thanks Biff, I'll try it in the morning... 11:47 PM here in Kent, WA and I
gotta get up in a few hours. Thanks again! "Biff" wrote: Hi!
