    formula to get average percentage?

    Hi

    I have a table with various percentages, and I would like a formula to have an average of these. Please see attached file to get more of an idea.

    Thanks

    Perhaps:

    I3: =IF(COUNT(C3:H3),AVERAGE(C3:H3),"")
    copied down

    from that I think you can work out / adapt the above for the Row average ?

    IF u want to exclude zeros so u can use an array formula like
    =IFERROR(AVERAGE(IF((C3:H3<>"")*(C3:H3<>0),C3:H3)),"")
    in I3, confirm w/ctrl+shift+enter and copy it down

    No need for Array if using 2007 functions as implied by use of IFERROR - just use AVERAGEIF

    =AVERAGEIF(C3:H3,"<>0",C3:H3)

    Re: formula to get average percentage?

    the only problem wth these formulas are that they dont include how many runs there have been, so it is not giving me the answer correctly. for example in I5 there were 3 runs. in the fast column the result was 0/2 which made 0%, and in the firm column the result was 1/1, which made 100%. so in total it was 1/3, which would be 33.33%, but it comes up 100%.

    i realise it may not be possible to do, just thought i would ask. thanks for help so far.

    Might be a clever way of doing it that I can't think of right now, failing that a UDF could do it:

    Please Login or Register  to view this content.
    inserted into a module (ensure Macros enabled) and then called from a cell

    I3: =AVERAGEAVG(C3:H3)
    copied down
