    sumifs for weighted average

    Hello. I've attached a sample workseet with data for invoices and then the cost. I would like to take a weighted average of the cost for each quarter? How would I do this? Various methods welcome. Thanks.

    Re: sumifs for weighted average

    what are you basing the weight on...
    and what are you trying to achieve with this?
    =MONTH(B6)

    B6 is the number of invoices (I presume?) for a cerat "whatever"?
    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)

    The weigths are based on the number of invoices (yes, B6). So, for each quarter I would like to have the weighted average using a sumif for each quarter. Thank ye kindly.

    Re: sumifs for weighted average

    I assume this is related to your question here

    I'd propose a similar formula to the one I suggested there, i.e.

    =SUMPRODUCT(($B$2:$M$2=O2)*($B$4:$M$4=O4),$B$6:$M$6,$B$7:$M$7)/SUMIFS($B$7:$M$7,$B$2:$M$2,O2,$B$4:$M$4,O4)

    Re: sumifs for weighted average

    I'm going to try to use that formula but would it be possible to use a different type of formula instead of sumproduct? Maybe a sumif or something like that.

    There's no significantly better alternative - SUMIFS can't be used because you need to multiply two ranges (unless you are prepared to have a helper row which multiplies rows 6 and 7). An "array formula" will do it but to no real advantage, i.e.

    =SUM(IF(($B$2:$M$2=O2)*($B$4:$M$4=O4),$B$6:$M$6*$B$7:$M$7))/SUMIFS($B$7:$M$7,$B$2:$M$2,O2,$B$4:$M$4,O4)

    confirmed with CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER

    or with row 8 used as a helper, i.e. in B8 copied across

    =B6*B7

    you can use SUMIFS like

    =SUMIFS($B$8:$M$8,$B$2:$M$2,O2,$B$4:$M$4,O4)/SUMIFS($B$7:$M$7,$B$2:$M$2,O2,$B$4:$M$4,O4)
