formula to get true average
Hi, I need a formula to achieve a average for some mutual funds I have
purchased over a period of years. Column A contains the number of shares I have purchased and Column C contain the price per share and Column D contains the cost for these shares. For example column A2 contains 130.29 and Column C2 contains $18.30 and Column D2 contains $2,484.25. Each cell in Column A contains a different number of shares and likewise so does column C and D. I have 40 cells in Column A each with a different number of shares and Column C has 50 cells each with a different amount per share and Column D will have a different amount in each cell. I need to obtain an average cost per share. Is there a formula I can use to obtain this? Any help or advice you can provide will be greatly appreciated. Starlin |

formula to get true average
Just divide the total cost by the total number of shares:
=SUM(D:D)/SUM(A:A) -- Gary''s Student - gsnu2007d "S Dotson" wrote: Hi, I need a formula to achieve a average for some mutual funds I have purchased over a period of years.
