I would like to do the following with measuring data:
1) Each row contains a set of data
2) For each row of data, I want to make a reference to a range of other rows
3) For each row of data, I want to calculate the average over this associated range of other rows
4) So far I can manage this, but I would like to make the formula "spill" over the entire target array, so I don't have to worry about updating formulas when rows of data are inserted in the middle etc.
E.g., this could be a set of measuring data with multiple zero values taken on several instances, where I want to specify which range of zero values that should be associated to each row, but I have other applications as well (all for interpolating).
Value 1st pr 0 Last pr 0 1st suc 0 last suc 0 <pr 0> <suc 0> zero corrected 0 1 2 7 8 0,05 0,25 0,03 -0,03 0,1 1 2 7 8 0,05 0,25 0,07 0,03 5,0 1 2 7 8 0,05 0,25 0,10 4,90 5,1 1 2 7 8 0,05 0,25 0,13 4,97 10,2 1 2 7 8 0,05 0,25 0,17 10,03 10,2 1 2 7 8 0,05 0,25 0,20 10,00 0,2 1 2 7 8 0,05 0,25 0,23 -0,03 0,3 1 2 7 8 0,05 0,25 0,27 0,03 0,0 9 10 ... ... ... ... ... ... 0,0 9 10 ... ... ... ... ... ...
The example Excel sheet shows the four calculating approaches I've tried so far, where every attempt to make the formula spill, using ranges like B2:B19 or G2# as parameters, has failed.
(Note that the example sheet has different row referrals, because I wanted a little more data for the example calculations.)
All my other columns in the calculations rely on "spill" so it could be a risk if one column suddenly needs manual updating. I also tried to find appropriate Control-Shift-Enter (CSE) formulas instead, but ran into the same problems there.
