Hi all!
Figured I needed to explain what I try to achieve - thanks for your feedback Glenn.
If the value in C is 0 I want to the 3 above 3 cells in D.
Further, I want to include the project name as there are multiple project names in the column and I only want average for the project mentioned on the row I type the formula.
I don't understand why cell D13 is returning #Value.
In my opinion it should take average of the 3 cells above.
Can someone please provide me some feedback.
Thank you

A non-working formula and not much of an explanation of wht you REALLY want. So, a guess:
=AVERAGE(TAKE(FILTER(C2:C12,B2:B12=B13),-3))
This averages the last 3 values in C2:C12, where the value in B2:B12 equals the value in B13.

You need to amend the formula in D4 to this:
=IFERROR(IF(C4<>0,C4,AVERAGEIFS(D1:D3,B2:B4,B4)),"")
(Note that you had it with B$2), then copy this down. You can't copy it above as you don't have enough cells.
Hope this helps.

I like the idea. The problem is still when going from one project to another. Then AVERAGE is also calculated based on the other project's numbers. Enclosing the issue.Sample Data.xlsx
In future, please make full disclosure in the OPENING post of the thread instead of tacking extra requirements on as the thread progresses.

Hi Ali, project name is also mentioned in the OPENING post. I assume this is what you are referring to.
Your sample workbook attached to the opening post was NOT fully representative, was it?
Please be guided - it will save your helpers time in the long run.
That's a very good pointe. Thank you.
What do you think the answer in D16 should be?
At the moment it is taking the average of C13:C15 because B14:B16 are all equal to B16. Perhaps you should make the ranges on column C the same as for column B, rather than them being offset by 1 cell.
Hope this helps.

Is this what you want?
=IF(C2=0,AVERAGE(TAKE(FILTER(C$1:C1,B$1:B1=B2),-3)),C2)
This is brilliant! Just what I needed!
Thank you.
Glad to have helped.
