    percentage average (and nested formula)

    Hi there,

    my question is about the average of percentages (B6 up untill B30).
    It’s about cell B2. There I want the average of 100%+100%+0% = 67%.
    But it turns up with 92%.
    Probably this has to do with FALSE statements in f.e. cell B2).
    Unfortunately I don’t know how to solve them (the formula is not elegant but is works.)

    I want in the spreadsheet a document "PvO" < 14 days under column F. It’s all about that is the document is signed within two weeks that is good. Otherwise it is wrong.

    Statement:
    1. in column F ‘PvO signed Y/N’ is only “N”. If the document is signed the project goes to another tab. So I don’t work with dates here.
    2. In column E ‘Date PvO send‘ it says ‘nothing/empty’ or a date, or a text.

    Statement:
    A: date PvO send(date)
    B: PvO signed (N)

    If B-A< 14 -> 100% (green; good)
    If B-A > 14 -> 0% (red; wrong)
    If B=N -> 0% (white)


    I already tried this for the averages:
    =SUMIFS(B6:B30;B6:B30;0%;B6:B30;100%) turns up with 0%.
    =(COUNTIF(B6:B30;"0%")+COUNTIF(B6:B30;"100%"))/COUNT(B6:B30) turns up with 100%
    =((COUNTA(B6:B30)+COUNTBLANK(B6:B30))-COUNTBLANK(B6:B30))/(COUNTA(B6:B30)+COUNTBLANK(B6:B30))
    and SUM(range)/COUNT(range), AVERAGE and SUM don’t work either.

    HELP.

    regards,
    Mariëlle

    Re: percentage average (and nested formula)

    hi,

    I want them to turn up with either 0% (the document PvO was send (column E) but is has not been signed yet (column F) and/or 14 days have passed. Then the outcome is 0% (red).
    Or 100% (the document has been sent AND it was signed within 14 days). The outcome is 100% (green).

    If the document PvO was not send, it should turn up with white (blank).

    There must be a more elegant formula for this, but I can't figure it out.

    I have killed all your conditional formatting (for now) and (for now) have left things as numbers, not %s. Are the sums now working as you expect?

    OK. There seemed to be a lot of redundant formatting in your sheet - which is gone. I have now restored the red:green formatting in B4:b30.
