    Get the average figures per month

    Dear all!
    I am very happy to found this site, and all your knowledge have helped my amateur excelmind alot.

    I have a problem with this file.
    It is divided into different periods (that can be changed). It is "programmed" to take out an average of all these periods.

    But I want it also ( in a column beside) to calculate the average per month.
    I have had some "expert" help here in Sweden, but NOBODY could get it to to it, so I believe it is not possible...
    This is my last resort to get some kind of help.

    Re: Get the average figures per month

    As i Say the main dates can be changed so that they are not in such order as they are now , example 1/4-15/4 --15/4-3/5 and so on. That is why it is such a mess to get excel to sort out the dates and make an average out of it...

    Re: Get an monthly average from different periods

    It is not clear to me what you want to do. Can you re-post a file with some data in it and explain what you want to get out of it.

    Re: Get an monthly average from different periods

    Dear Sir!
    PLs see attached.

    As you can see - "the green field" is calculating an average of all periods (the one you see to the left) and these periods can be shifting (right now they are in order monthly, but can also be like: 1 of May to 15 of may and 16 of May to 18 of May etc) but then the "Rates" are shifting. So I want to take out an average of it monthly, even though there can be for example three periods in on month.

    Very glad you look into this, but I think it is not possible

    See if this is what you want to achieve.

    I changed (or add) the blue cells

    See the attached file.

    Re: Get an monthly average from different periods

    Dear oeldere!
    This is exact what I want it to do, but I would not like an Pivot tabel, because it is not updating "live". Is there some kind of macro that could do the trick you have done so far.
    Much MUCH appreciated. Kind regards Henrik

    Re: Get an monthly average from different periods

    I don't have a macro for that, but you can refresh the pivot table.

    Or that is not what you mean with (not updating "live")?

    Re: Get an monthly average from different periods

    for your solution in #8.

    Is it possible to split the input like i did in my example?

    Then the problem would be solved.

    Or it can't be done that way?

    Re: Get an monthly average from different periods

    The periode should stay as they are so we cannot split them up , if there is not an easy way to do so, because I need the periods to stay as they are.
    Once again Oeldere MANY THANKS, but I think this is a real nutcracker that can not be solved...

    Re: Get an monthly average from different periods

    It can be done, but i have 2 questions

    1) It's allowed to use helpcolumns to determine the count of days / per month?

    2) the data is inputted manualy or they are downloaded?

    Re: Get an monthly average from different periods

    Dear Oeldere!
    1, Does this mean you need to split up "the green field" more than it is now? Or you will have help of another column next to the green field somewhere- If yes on last question then it is Ok.
    2, Numbers are inserted manually by me.

    Re: Get an monthly average from different periods

    Still 2 other things:

    1) you found the refresh of the pivot table?

    2) If you inserted the manually (why can't the date be changed)?

    3) the overdue to a month is just 1 month (april and may) or it can be differant monts (e.g. april / may / june / july)?

    Re: Get an monthly average from different periods

    Dear oeldere,
    1,Yes I found it, had to replace to "connection" but now it works
    2, I will use this program to contractperiods so when I start I will put in the periods and then the "rates" in the different periods. This will change for the different contracts I will be writening with the different partners.
    So the dates can be changed everythin can be changed depending on what we come to an agreement of.
    3; It can be different months and there can for example be 3-4 different periods within the same month.

    Therefor this is so hard to solve (if possible) I need the Monthly Averages to compare against for example other contracts and depending on other cirmcumstances.

    Re: Get an monthly average from different periods

    Dear Sir!

    PLS see attached how the different periods can look like.

    Therefor I need to "take out" the Average per month because the formula there is now just give me an average for the total of all periods....
    Kind regards

    Re: Get an monthly average from different periods

    Probably you add the wrong file.

    The one your just posted, is the same as the first one.

    In this file I don't see any overlap for the months.

    Re: Get an monthly average from different periods

    Dear Oeldere!

    No if you look into the periods there are many differnet dates, exmple 1 periode is just 2 days.
    This is how it can look like
