Hi, I am trying to develop a formula to have attendance reports and averages.
I want to divide the groups into adults, youth and children. I have a column
identifying the group each person is in (A Y or C).

I have a worksheet for each program (wed, thurs, fri or sun) and i want to
tally the totals on another sheet and then make an overall statistics sheet.

I am using =SUMIF(Sunday!B:B,"A",Sunday!E:E) on the initial stats but it is
coming up as an error.

I am using =AVERAGE(IF('Initial Stats '!4:40, 'Initial Stats '!4:4,""))

I thought I had everything set fine and when I opened the program today to
start entering data there were errors everywhere.

Thanks, Mary

Mary,

That is an array formula, so you need to confirm those formulae with
Ctrl-Shift-Enter, not just Enter.

You can also use just

=AVERAGE(IF('Initial Stats '!4:40, 'Initial Stats '!4:4))

Hi Bob,

It didn't work. If I put a comma between the 4 and 0 I get a wrong formula.

If I do not put the comma in, I have no results at all. Excell allows me to
enter the formula without an "error" but there are no results either.

Mary

Why don't you just copy Bob's formula, btw do you really have a trailing
space in the sheet name
If not use

=AVERAGE(IF('Initial Stats'!4:40, 'Initial Stats'!4:4))

entered with ctrl + shift & enter

Hi Peo,

I needed to put in a third element and now it works.

=AVERAGE(IF('Initial Stats'!4:40, 'Initial Stats'!4:4,"")) I needed the
[value_if_false] which is the ""

I did copy Bob's formula and it did not work. This new one worked.

Thanks, I would not have been successful without your help.

You don't need the ,"", it must have been the trailing space as Peo
suggested.
