Formulas: Averages
I would like to know how to create a "To-Date" average. For example, lets say
I have 3 dates: Nov 1 Nov 2 Nov 3 and I have numerical values for each date: Nov 1 | 100 Nov 2 | 106 Nov 3 | 88 How could I get an "to-date" average where it will average every number up to that number together. For example, the aveage that would display to the right of Nov 1 is 100 [100/1], to the right of Nov 2 is 103 [(100+106)/2], and to the right of Nov 3 is 98 [(100+106+88)/3]. I know the parent function for average is =Average(). I just need a formula that recognizes the current number and the ones before it. |

hi
assuming that your dates are in column A and start at A2 and your numbers are in column B, starting at B2 then this formula might do it for you. =SUM($B$2:$B2)/(ROW()-1) copy down as far as you need. regards FSt1 "KeithD" wrote: I would like to know how to create a "To-Date" average.
