Hello all,
As you can see in the picture, I want a formula that will average column B based on the month in Column A and place the answer in column F.
I hope this simple explanation is enough.
I have researched for the answer but have failed.
Thank you.

You should be able to use AVERAGEIF or AVERAGEIFS to get the result you want.

You would get a more definitive response, at least from me, if you posted a sample workbook rather than a picture of your worksheet.

Thank you for your quick response,

I have been looking at AVERAGEIF & AVERAGEIFS, but am struggling to conjure up a working function that will search for the month I want.

Attached is excel sheet.

Thank you

One way, try:

F2: =SUMPRODUCT(--(TEXT($A$2:$A$65,"mmmm")=$E2),--(B$2:B$65))/SUMPRODUCT(--(TEXT($A$2:$A$65,"mmmm")=$E2))

Copy down and across.

You're welcome. Thanks for the rep.

I note that you have different years in the data. Did you want to add all the values for each month regardless of year?
