    You get better help if you post an Excel-file (example of your workbook), without confidential information.

    Make sure the workbook demonstrates your desired results if possible, or just highlight the cells you're trying to fix.

    Use BEFORE/AFTER sheets if that helps make it clearer.
    Notice my main language is not English.

    I appreciate it, if you reply on my solution.

    If you are satisfied with the solution, please mark the question solved.

    Isn't that the geometric mean of those quotients? IMO, the easiest way would be to add a column/row where you calculate the quotient for each entry in your data sets, then use the GEOMEAN() function. Search Excel help for the geomean() function.

    Re: Calculating geometric mean

    I think your answer is wrong.

    =GEOMEAN(INDEX(A1:A6/B1:B6, 0))
