Averaging Based on criteria on separate table

Hi, I have two columns: Factory and Margin. I want to do an average only on factories from a specific country. The factory/country connection is available in separate table.

Here is a Power Query solution attached in the file

Power Query is a free AddIn for Excel 2010 and 2013, and is built-in functionality from Excel 2016 onwards (where it is referred to as "Get & Transform Data").

It is a powerful yet simple way of getting, changing and using data from a broad variety of sources, creating steps which may be easily repeated and refreshed. I strongly recommend learning how to use Power Query - it's among the most powerful functionalities of Excel.

Many ways to go about this...its what you wish to do in the end... Just like where it says China in the above... that can be a reference to the name on the sheet

Say yo used your F Column, put this in H since we put the straight average in G with the suggested above...

H7= Average if is Country
