    Averaging data in one column corresponding to specific names in another column

    What formula can I use to average a random selection of numbers in one column that correspond specifically to a name or number in another column. Example: If column A contains the months of the year and there are many years in the list how can I average all the numbers in column B that correspond to a specific month?

    Thanks for your help

    If column A just contains months in text format, i.e. not dates but entries like "March", "September" etc. then you could try something like

    =SUMIF(A:A,"September",B:B)/COUNTIF(A:A,"September)

    If you have actual dates in column A

    =SUMPRODUCT((MONTH(A1:A100)=9)+0,B1:B100)/SUMPRODUCT((MONTH(A1:A100)=9)+0)

    or you could use "array" formulas which need to be confirmed with CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER, e.g.

    =AVERAGE(IF(MONTH(A1:A100)=9,B1:B100))

    adjust ranges as necessary
