    formula to average of a normalized measurement, dynamic to an input selection?

    So I'm trying to figure out a formula to give me the average of a group of runs by step after each run is normalized, dynamically, given the test you are interested in.

    so each Measurement needs to be normalized by # of points = (Measurement/#points)
    then i need to average all the runs in a given step.
    I tried "AVERAGEIF" but I don't know how to put a normalization inside of of.

    Any advice?

    example of data attached

    HOW TO ATTACH YOUR SAMPLE WORKBOOK:

    Fast answers need clear examples. Post a small Excel sheet (not a picture) showing realistic & representative sample data WITHOUT confidential information (10-20 rows, not thousands...) and some manually calculated results. Just before posting, scroll down to GO ADVANCED, click, and then scroll down to MANAGE ATTACHMENTS and click again. Now follow the instructions at the top of that screen.
    Notice my main language is not English.

    I appreciate it, if you reply on my solution.

    "I tried "AVERAGEIF" but I don't know how to put a normalization inside of of." what do you mean in bolded part?
    I saw you do average correctly for step 1 in, i.e, cell R4=0.0582. What do you expect for cell, R4, to be? and how to calculate?

    *note i updated the file attach to be a bit more clear*
    The attached file is the ideal state, so R4 is is the average of runs of normalized data for step#1 Param#1.
    So for example:
    - each Param has a measured value from a QTY of things.
    - This Param value needs to be 'normalized,' meaning divide the value by the QTY.
    - Each Step# is run several times to collect multiple measurements.
    - I need to output the average of the normalized run data.

    If I understood correctly:
    R4 outcome is exactly what you want
    Normalizing table is helper table, now you want to eliminate it, and R4 is expected to refer directly to Source Data?

    Is it true?
