    average of data by date to probability formula steps help

    Hi. I have a large set of prediction market data assorted by date (dates in column A). The data runs from columns B through to Y with some blank cells. I wish to create an average of this data by date. in The z column (one total average for each day). In the column AA I wish to have the calculation of 1/average to give me an average daily probability. Can someone help with the formula required to perform these functions please. I have attached a screen grab to show what part of my spreadsheet looks like. I have attached one of my workbooks in case any kind soul wants to have a bash working this out.excel screen grab.PNG

    Re: average of data by date to probability formula steps help

    I know I can do it by using an averaging formula (for example Cell Z46 =AVERAGE(B2:Y46)) and just use this formula for all dates. My issue is I have months of data and would like that formula to repeat automatically for every date. The same for the 1/average, I could do it manually but would like a formula that auto calculates this value for every average.

    I can't tell what you're trying to do, but a good start would be to unmerge all the cells in col A, and replicate the dates.

    EDIT: Unmerge ALL of the cells in the workbook and replicate data as necessary.

    May be this.....

    In a new sheet get all unique dates. One way to get that is,

    A2, then copy down until get blank.

    =IFERROR(SMALL(Sheet1!A:A,ROWS(A$2:A2)),"")

    B2, with CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER, then copy down.

    Re: average of data by date to probability formula steps help

    Thank you so much for both your replies. Shg unmerging was good advice thanks. As for understanding what I want, basically I just want a daily average of all data in a new column and in another column I want the calculation #1/daily average. Haseeb I'm not sure I follow how I'm supposed to implement those instructions (I think I'm being dumb), would it be possible for you to edit the workbook I have posted or further explain those instructions?
