Match criteria (year) and obtain averages and sums
Hi all,
I have a dataset where I need to obtain all the costs for each year. As you can see from the attached example each year is present in different rows and columns. I need the average with standard deviation as well as sum of the cost for each year.
Thanks in advance.

If it was in one column it would be easier. I would try that first but if there is a reason it has to be in three try this for the sum
and this for the average

where J3 is the result for the sum. If you put the sum in a different cell then change J3 accordingly. Do you really want the SD as well? Your spreadsheet indicates you're looking for that too. That might be a bit more difficult as you need to find the differnec between the average and the individual values then sum the squares (I think) I'll need to check my maths on that though if you really want it. it is was in one column it would be easier!!!Please Login or Register to view this content.

I actually have 200+ columns of dates & 2000+ rows of ids, so that formula might get too long. I was able to use conditional formatting to highlight all the dates in red as seen in the example. Is there maybe a way to highlight each adjacent cell (ie cost) for each highlighted date & get the sums & averages. Just a thought, probably there is a better way to achieve what I'm trying to do.
J3=sumif(b2:h6,2016,c2:i6)
k3=j3/countif(b2:h6,2016)
