...as i mentioned in my other thread, i am only a beginner to excel :)

My project is centered around the results and statistical performence
data relating to the soccer results of one team.
Here i am trying to work out an average with a lookup in the same
formula.

Basically, the sheet just stores the statistical performence data of
each player against different teams. I would like to work out some
averages of these results if possible.




Column A: Opposition
Column B: Date
Column C: Squad Number
Column D: Surname
Column E: Forename
Column F: Position
Column G: Goals Scored


Barnsley______6/8/2005___6__McAteer__Jason __midfielder__0
Blackpool _____1/10/2005__6__McAteer__Jason__midfielder__1
Bournemouth__7/11/2005__6__McAteer__Jason __midfielder__0
Bradford______16/2/2006__6__McAteer__Jason __midfielder__0
Barnsley______6/8/2005___9__Davis____Steve__attacker___2
Blackpool _____1/10/2005__9__Davis____Steve__attacker___1
Bournemouth__7/11/2005__9__Davis____Steve__attacker___0
Bradford______16/2/2006__9__Davis____Steve__attacker___1


I realise that i could do a simple =AVERAGE() here, but such a formula
wouldn't work as a system, as new statistics are input on a weekly
basis for each player. A LOOKUP would work systematically though...

I can use a LOOKUP in its simplest form to calculate the total goals
scored for a player, but i struggling to return the amount of goals
scored per game; that is, the amount of goals scored divided by the
amount of games played. For example, here, McAteer has played 4 games
and scored one. I would like the value 0.25 to be returned, if at all
possible.

The closest i can get is:
=LOOKUP(Surname,Surname,GoalsScored)/

except i dont know how to divide it by the amount of games played :(

Again, sorry about my lack of jargon or general technical knowhow.

Any help would be massivley appreciated as i need this sorted by
tomorrow or im in trouble!

Thank you in advance,

Jj :)
