Looking to make a averageif formula based on a criteria.

I have been trying to make a averageif formula that is based on a criteria but haven't been successful.

I'm having trouble sharing the attachment of the sheet.

What I am trying to do is calculate the average between two columns based on a criteria. I am trying to find in all row that meet the criteria in sheet 2 (someone will enter the start date, end date and specific model family. So when someone put "august 6, 2021" to "august 21, 2021".. model - "steamers"... It will pull from sheet 1 .. column E the steamers and all the order date and completion date between the date range provided and calculate the average day in production that will be reflected in sheet 2 under average.

Will you please attach a sample Excel workbook? We are not able to work with or manipulate a picture of one and nobody wants to have to recreate your data from scratch.

1. Make sure that your sample data are REPRESENTATIVE of your real data. The use of unrepresentative data is very frustrating and can lead to long delays in reaching a solution.

2. Make sure that your desired results are also shown (mock up the results manually).

3. Make sure that all confidential data is removed or replaced with dummy data first (e.g. names, addresses, E-mails, etc.).

4. Try to avoid using merged cells as they cause lots of problems.

Unfortunately the attachment icon doesn't work at the moment, so to attach an Excel file you have to do the following: just before posting, scroll down to Go Advanced and then scroll down to Manage Attachments. Now follow the instructions at the top of that screen.

Please pay particular attention to point 2 (above): without an idea of your intended outcomes, it is often very difficult to offer appropriate advice.

The start and end dates on sheet 2, is that an order date range?

Try this in F2 of Sheet2:

=IFERROR(AVERAGEIFS(Sheet1!C:C,Sheet1!E:E,B4,Sheet1!F:F,"<="&B",Sheet1!M:M,">="&D2),"Not valid")

Next time attach a sample Excel workbook, rather than a picture of one - instructions on how to do this are given in the yellow banner at the top of the screen.

Hope this helps.
