    Averaging Percentage of Completion

    Hey guys,

    I have a pretty large spreadsheet that shows manufacturing status for each sign at each location. I have a title row in bold and underneath are all of the signs with MFG (manufacturing) %.

    I would like to average the the percentage of completion for each location on the title row and at the very bottom of the spreadsheet in the "summary" chart.

    Every time that I try to do the "Averageif" formula, it does not calculate 100% correctly.

    Any help is appreciated!

    (This is my first post and I am not sure if my Spreadsheet attached properly)

    Please add your manually calculated results, explaining which information is data and which is results, and if it's not blindingly obvious how you have arrived at your results some explanatory notes as well.

    So column M "MFG Stage" drop down data comes from that "Formula Data" tab. Column N "MFG %" data is a result from this formula "=IF(M4="Released",0%,IF(M4="Router",20%,IF(M4="Metal Fab",40%,IF(M4="Paint/ Vinyl",60%,IF(M4="FA",80%,IF(M4="Complete","100%",0))))))".

    Everything should be pretty obvious when viewing the spreadsheet. I left most of the data in the spreadsheet so it would all make sense.

    Hi,

    I didn't ask you to repeat the formula I can see in the sheet. I asked you to state what results you expect and where. If everything was pretty obvious I wouldn't have asked

    Remember that when you ask a question in a forum those of us who might be able to help know absolutely nothing about your system and work process or the terminology you use. Unless you have uploaded a workbook we know nothing about how it is laid out and little about what you want done with it or how the results should be presented.

    Whilst these things are second nature to you since you live with the workbook all the working day we start with zero knowledge so you need to take us by the hand and explain in quite precise detail your aims and goals as well as stuff like how your data might look different in other situations.
    Don't assume we are able to "figure it out". We're usually quite good but not psychic.

    Put yourself in our position and think about whether what you've posted makes sense and is unambiguous to someone who's never seen it before.
    You are asking us for help so help us to be able to help you by providing all the information we need, even if that information seems obvious or intuitive to you.

    Neither do we need all your data. A representative subset is all that's necessary.

    Re: Averaging Percentage of Completion

    I am very grateful for you to take the time out of your day to help solve/figure out my issue. I hope that this will be a better description of the functionality of this spreadsheet.

    I am using this spreadsheet to keep up with sign production for multiple locations. Each location "TITLE ROW" is listed as point 0 under column G and is presented as Bold font and a Gray fill color.
    Under each of these location rows "TITLE ROW" are the signs that we are producing. The goal is to be able to report how far along each sign is in production and average them all out to eventually show a 100% completion of manufacturing for each location. So I have a drop-down list for column N "MFG Stage" that represents a percentage for each phase of production.

    In each "TITLE ROW", I would like to show the percentage of production completion for each location.

    I have also created a summary chart at the bottom but I cant seem to get the correct data populate in it.

    Sorry if I have done a poor job of explaining, but this is the best I can do.

    Perhaps in N4 copied to the other grey cells

    =AVERAGEIFS($N4:$N$1000,$A4:$A$1000,A3,$L4:$L$1000,"<>No")

    When trying this formula and changing all of my MFG stages to complete, which changes the MFG% to 100%, it gives me a #DIV/0!.

    Would you upload an example please

    I don't need hundreds of rows, just copy a couple of examples.

    Re: Averaging Percentage of Completion

    Cell N4:
    While most of IF's returns real value in %, your last IF
    .....IF(M4="Complete","100%",0)
    returns 100% in text string. Change it to 100% (without double quote"") then it should works.
