    Measuring mortality using a value of 0 or 1

    Hi

    I am currently trying to work out the mortality, but for this problem I currently have the value of 0 (for dead) or 1 (for alive) instead of a population size or amount of dead individuals.

    The way it is set up is that I have families(column 1) set up in different areas(column 2), I then have the individual counts of individuals(column 3) and at last the dead or alive value (column 4). Now what I want to look it is the percentage of mortality between all the families, and for some reason my head is currently not working and I can not figure out a way how to set this up. Hoping you guys could help me!

    Edit:
    Sorry if the English is hard to understand. But some families (column 1) are also placed in same areas(column 2) and essentially what I want to figure out is the mortality rate of each area.
    Thanks!

    Without seeing the data, we can only guess. But, maybe, use COUNTIFS to get a count for each family/area, and SUMIFS to count the dead for each family/area. Or, perhaps, AVERAGEIFS.

    Given you have Excel 365, there might be something more interesting with FILTER, UNIQUE and so on.

    Re: Measuring mortality using a value of 0 or 1

    I don't want to share my data, but this is essentially how it looks like. So in this table the value of 1 in the Dead column means they are dead, 0 means alive. Now I do have many more rows but again this is basically how it looks.

    So from this one I am looking for the percentage mortality of this family, which should be 60% from this mock-up table.

    Family Area Initial Count Dead
    F20 A1 6 1
    F20 A2 5 0
    F20 A3 5 1
    F20 A4 4 1
    F20 A5 5 0

    Put that in a spreadsheet with columns and rows and you'll get a formula back.
