"Average" function query
Hi all,
I have an Excel function query that's really bugging me. In column "A" I have about 80 staff annual salaries. In column "B" I have their corresponding annual salary increase. If I sum Column "A", and sum Column "B", and divide the resultant totals, I get what I assume to be the average annual salary increase for the group (3.46%). However, if in Column "C" I calculate each individual's average annual increase (B2/A2 etc), and then use the AVERAGE function over all of the results in column "C" I get a different answer (3.79%). Why is this please, and which answer is correct? Thanks, Robin
