    Exclamation Ignore blanks formula not giving correct average based on weights

    Hello there,

    I got help from someone in this forum a couple weeks ago about a formula that ignored blanks and provided grades even when all activities/assignments/tests were not completed (cells were blank) and the formula worked in the original spreadsheet but when I transferred the formula to a gradebook with more columns and weights the grade for each category was incorrect (Projects, Assignments, Tests). As you can see in the attached spreadsheet, in cell BN6 I should be getting 19.15 but the result is 17.82 and in cell BR6 the result should be 20.88 and I'm getting 25.06. The only row giving the correct grade is BW. I've been trying to figure out the problem for days and can't pin point the issue. Any help you can provide will be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

    Hi
    The formula is correct but you must extend the range in the formula.
    Use in BN6
    Formula: copy to clipboard

    In BR6 I don't see any error
    =(38/50*10%+51/56*10%)*30/20 is equal to 25.06
    See your data

    Hi Jose,

    Thank you so much! Can't believe I missed that, such a simple thing. I checked my data and I was calculating out of 8.33% and not 10% like in the gradebook so you were correct. Numbers are still off by about 0.5 in AE but it might be the weight, too.

    Thanks again!
