    Grouping time-stamped data into a different sampling interval

    Hello,

    I've uploaded a sample of the data I'm working with. My question is rather simple although a bit complicated to implement due to the large number of columns in my dataset.

    In short, there are three categories of data to transform;

    1) Columns A and B are the time-stamps. As you can see, they are taken every 80-seconds.

    2) Columns C to E are activity values for 3 different axis

    3) Columns F to O contain the number of seconds for each type of Event as seen on the header of the columns for every 80-second period. The total time (in seconds) is summarized in column P

    Hence, I would like to transform my data to have time-stamps taken every 4 minutes (i.e. 240-seconds). The columns will have to be transformed as follows:

    1) Columns A and B will have a time-step of 240-seconds (starting 6/19/2018 at 10:40:00).

    2) Values in columns C to E will have to be grouped every three rows (because 240-seconds = 3 * 80-seconds) and then averaged to match the 240-second intervals

    3) Values on columns C to E will have to be grouped every three rows and summed. Column P being the sum of values for columns [F:O], a value of 240 for all rows will have to be displayed to make sure the transformation as been done right

    I hope somebody can help me or at least put me on the right track. I'm rather new to Excel so any input is appreciated.

    Cheers!

    See attached.

    After entering the formulas shown in row 4, I selected R4:AF6 and double-clicked the fill handle.

    Then you can copy those coulumns, paste as values, delete columns A:Q, and sort by col R to close up.

    I followed your steps by filling in the formulas for the 4th row. However, I'm not able to find any fill handle when I'm selecting R4:AF6. Indeed, I don't have any option to click on at the corner of the cell as all my selected areas will become grey.

    Also, I'm wondering why I should select R4:AF6 and not the full R4:AP6?

    Re: Grouping time-stamped data into a different sampling interval

    The fill handle is the small square that appears in the lower-right corner of the selection marquee. When you hover the mouse cursor over it, the cursor changes to a +

    But I gave you bad dope. I actually entered the formulas staring in col Q, filled them down as described, and then decided for cosmetic reasons to insert a blank column. Doing that keeps double-clicking the fill handle from working because of the lack of adjacency. So just grab the fill handle and drag down.

    The formulas only extend to col AF:
