    Question Vlookup average with same results sometimes

    Hey guys,

    I am dealing with 10'000 plus lines and need to get a rolling 12 month average for items on another sheet, however I cannot interact with the other sheet due to the data overwrighting previous data daily.
    With the averages I am trying to use the month, item and company to lookup using the pre made CAT that comes with the report sheet, however I cannot get the averages without a vlookup since INDEX and MATCH don't seem to get same or similar values properly and don't seem to work with what I am trying to do.

    I have tried using AVERAGEIF however it doesn't seem to work with vlookup, and AVERAGEIF also doesn't take into account several entry matches.

    My english isn't fantastic so I have put the 2 sheets down below, first one is the report I am trying to build and 2nd is a sample of the constantly extracted data (cannot attach sheet for some reason, forum not allow that?) (below is tab delimited)

    Sheet1:
    Monthly Average Sales
    Business Item Number(hidden later) January February March
    (uses unique function, removed for testing sake)
    hals paints 1025L INSERT AVERAGE HERE INSERT AVERAGE HERE INSERT AVERAGE HERE
    premium supplier 1025L INSERT AVERAGE HERE INSERT AVERAGE HERE INSERT AVERAGE HERE
    All Trace 1025L INSERT AVERAGE HERE INSERT AVERAGE HERE INSERT AVERAGE HERE
    Safety Industries 1025L INSERT AVERAGE HERE INSERT AVERAGE HERE INSERT AVERAGE HERE
    Murfies 1025L INSERT AVERAGE HERE INSERT AVERAGE HERE INSERT AVERAGE HERE

    hals paints B2000 INSERT AVERAGE HERE INSERT AVERAGE HERE INSERT AVERAGE HERE
    premium supplier B2000 INSERT AVERAGE HERE INSERT AVERAGE HERE INSERT AVERAGE HERE
    All Trace B2000 INSERT AVERAGE HERE INSERT AVERAGE HERE INSERT AVERAGE HERE
    Safety Industries B2000 INSERT AVERAGE HERE INSERT AVERAGE HERE INSERT AVERAGE HERE
    Murfies B2000 INSERT AVERAGE HERE INSERT AVERAGE HERE INSERT AVERAGE HERE

    hals paints B2010 INSERT AVERAGE HERE INSERT AVERAGE HERE INSERT AVERAGE HERE
    premium supplier B2010 INSERT AVERAGE HERE INSERT AVERAGE HERE INSERT AVERAGE HERE
    All Trace B2010 INSERT AVERAGE HERE INSERT AVERAGE HERE INSERT AVERAGE HERE
    Safety Industries B2010 INSERT AVERAGE HERE INSERT AVERAGE HERE INSERT AVERAGE HERE
    Murfies B2010 INSERT AVERAGE HERE INSERT AVERAGE HERE INSERT AVERAGE HERE



    sheet 2:

    You need to contact an administrator and get your chosen user name changed, as it is currently unacceptable.

    There are instructions at the top of the page explaining how to attach your sample workbook.

    A good sample workbook has just 10-20 rows of representative that has been desensitised. It also has expected results mocked up, relevant cells highlighted and a few explanatory notes.

    Read the instructions I gave you to attach - the instructions do NOT tell you to use the paper clip icon.

    Autocorrect my foot!!!

    The admins are listed on the members' list page (link up at the top). Thanks for getting this sorted ASAP.

    Do it NOW, please.

    When you have done that, explain the attachment. Where have you manually mocked up what you want? We need to see at least some examples of values. All I can see is INSERT AVERAGE HERE.

    Thread temporarily closed. I will re-open it once I have had confirmation that the OP has contacted the admin team about his user name (via private message with me copied in).
