I am trying to work out the average of scores for the male artists. When I tried using the AVERAGEIFs function it returned a #VALUE error and therefore I have created a table to work out the average manually. The expected score is 3.9 however when I use my table which adds up all the scores and then the number of scores which are not blank and divides the total score by number of scores the answer is 3.4.
Could you please advise on why this would be and if there is a way to calculate the average of male artists?
Here is an image of my spreadsheet:
To my knowledge, AVERAGEIFS() works on a single column / single row.
Thus, you need a helping row, showing you the AVERAGE per person, and then taking the average, with conditions such as Gender and Job.
I have 6.5 with this formula:
=AVERAGEIFS(F2:F5 F2:F5,B2:B5,B2,A2:A5,A2)
It simply gives the average of 2 and 11, as they are the only 2 male artists in my sample.
MSDN AVERAGEIFS
If you do not like the idea of additional column, then making a PIVOT table would be a good solution.

hope it's been a good holiday.
Had a question regarding excel, that can best be phrased through an example.
I have a table which has 4 columns and 2 rows. in the each of the 4 inputs in row 1, we have a $ amount our company has (100000, 150000, 200000, 175000), and in row 2 we have the amount of product which we've been able to purchase, note: this products doesn't have a fixed price, and is constantly changing. Row 2 has the values (10000,20000,22000, 18000 respectively for the above $ amounts).
I want to have a cell, where if I input the dollar amount, I have, it will give me the average amount of product I can buy based on the historical data. Also, I need the formula to be dynamic, i.e once I add a fifth column, it takes the average using 5 datapoints, instead of the previous 4.
Thanks for any help, was having problems uploading an excel to display this, so hope this suffices.
I tried various look up/index formulas with no luck.
You want FORECAST.LINEAR():
=FORECAST.LINEAR(C6,2:2,1:1)
I am working on an excel sheet where I am required to calculate average number of days the stores in a city were able to make some sales. I am attaching a sample of the table for reference. The values in the cells represent the number of units sold(not relevant to this question).
Here across NY, two stores are present, and out of the total number of days in consideration (3*2), only 4 days some sales were made, making the average 66%.
Similarly for Paris, there exists only one store which was open across all days.
To arrive at the figures, I tried using nested countifs and SUMIFS , but did not receive the expected results. Also, in some of the older posts, users had suggested to use INDEX MATCH with SUMIFS, but I was not to get accurate results using these.
Can anyone help me to get the correct figures for Total days, and Days with some sale.
SUMPRODUCT SOLUTION
=SUMPRODUCT(--(A$2:A$5=A8)*--(C$2:E$5<>""))
=SUMPRODUCT(--(A$2:A$5=A8)*--(C$2:E$5<>"NO SALE"))
=ROUND(C8/B8,4)
First, according to your grid NY made sales on 4 of the 6 days. (NY1: Mon, Wed; NY2: Tues, Wed). Thus the average is not 50% but 66%.
Second, to get your formula. Assuming "Place" is in column A. Below is for NY, you can solve for the rest.
Total number of days:
In cell "C9": =COUNTIF(A2:A4,"=NY") * 3
Days with sales:
In cell "D9": =COUNTIF(C2:E2,"<>NO SALE") + COUNTIF(C4:E4,"<>NO SALE")
I have created a PowerPivot Report which contains a Price field and a Sales as well as a Measure column.
Price Column will obviously contain the unit price
Sales Column will give the units sold
Measure Column is the measure of the product.
From this I have a:-
Total Price which is PricexSale and a
Total Measure which is MeasurexSale
In the calculation section I have then worked out a calc which is Simply
Unit Per Thousand:=SUM(Products[Total Price])/SUM(Products[Total Measure])*1000
The issue I am getting is this is rounding it to the nearest 10 So rather than £17.88 it is displaying £17.90. It is set to 2 decimal places already. All the values in the columns are correct to the 2 decimal places. Can anyone assist to get me the correct result and not a rounded result.
It sounds like you need to use the round function in DAX on your measure which would allow you to round the result of the calculation. This being different then setting the field's format settings.
It would be
ROUND(<number>, <num_digits>)
Link to Microsoft site on the function:
enter link description here
Edit:
Then it sounds like you want to use the trunc function in DAX to truncate the number after a certain number of significant digits.
TRUNC(<number>,<num_digits>)
I'm involved with a youth football tournament on the referee side, with assessing/coaching the referees. I've just taken over doing the data entry for the referees assessment scores which we then use to determine who gets finals etc and am looking to extract more usable information from the data to help us identify trends.
I've got (up to) 200 referees, each receiving from none to two assessment scores each day for 5 days. The scores are entered as both the raw mark and the weighted mark based on match difficulty (along with a host of other data about the match that isn't relevant to this issue.
I can extract the average mark (raw and weighted) across all referees without issues and have done so using the below formula, which is the raw average mark:
=AVERAGE(Working!AK4:AK200,Working!BK4:BK200,Working!CL4:CL200,Working!DL4:DL200,Working!EM4:EM200,Working!FM4:FM200,Working!GN4:GN200,Working!HN4:HN200,Working!IO4:IO200,Working!JO4:JO200)
But I also want to extract the average mark (raw and weighted) across two subsets - Academy and non academy referees, to help plot trends and determine where resources need to be utilised.
I've attempted to use an AVERAGEIF formula, but am getting a #VALUE! return. This is the formula that I've attempted to use to return the average raw mark for those referees in the academy:
=AVERAGEIF(Working!G4:G200,Working!G4:G200="Yes",(Working!AK4:AK200,Working!BK4:BK200,Working!CL4:CL200,Working!DL4:DL200,Working!EM4:EM200,Working!FM4:FM200,Working!GN4:GN200,Working!HN4:HN200,Working!IO4:IO200,Working!JO4:JO200))
If I do the same formula as above, but without the brackets around the [average_range], I get a 'you've used too many arguments, and it highlights BK200.
From what I've been able to find so far online, it seems that the formula I'm trying to use would only work if ALL the cells in (Working!G4:G200) returned "Yes". However if there are only 50 academy referees as indicated by "Yes" in G column, then I want those specific scores to be averaged, and the inverse for the non-academy referees.
I thought about having another sheet, which would simply contain populate from Column G (a simple =G4 and then populated down to =G200 next to all of the scores), consolidated into a block of raw marks columned under Assessment 1, 2, 3, 4.... and then the same for all of the weighted marks which would populate from the equivalent cell on the working sheet, but there's a lot of filtering, and re-sorting that goes on on the working sheet, and I'm not 100% certain that that wouldn't cause issues.
Any feedback on how to work through this problem, so that I can display the overall average mark for academy and non-academy referees in both raw and weighted form would be much appreciated, and I apologize if this post is rather convoluted.
I don't think there is a neat solution if the scores are in several columns which are not consecutive.
My suggestion is:-
(1) Work out the sum for each column separately and total them up
(2) Work out the count for each column separately and total them up
(3) Divide Sum by Count to get Average.
In my small example below with 3 referees and 3 columns:-
(1) In K2:-
=SUMIF(H2:H4,"Yes",B2:B4)+SUMIF(H2:H4,"Yes",D2:D4)+SUMIF(H2:H4,"Yes",F2:F4)
(2) In K3:-
=COUNTIFS(B2:B4,">=0",H2:H4,"Yes")+COUNTIFS(D2:D4,">=0",H2:H4,"Yes")+COUNTIFS(F2:F4,">=0",H2:H4,"Yes")
(3) In K4:
=K2/K3
This would include any zero scores (if this is possible) but exclude any blanks.
You can then scale it up to your data.
Beyond this, you would have to change the data structure either
(1) Add a row to label the columns that you want to average e.g.
Score 1 Score 2 Score 3
3 0 3
so you could pick up only the columns labelled 3 say
Here's how it would be in my small example:-
In K3:-
=SUM((B$2:F$2=3)*($H3:$H5="Yes")*B3:F5)
Which is an array formula and must be entered with Ctrl-Shift-Enter
In K4:-
=SUM((B$2:F$2=3)*($H3:$H5="Yes")*(B3:F5<>""))
another array formula
In K5:-
=K3/K4
This is how the columns you want are labelled with a 3 in row 2, so it ignores the other columns:-
(2) Consolidate them into another sheet as you suggest.
I'm trying to get the average number of "on time shipment" based on items rolled up to "ship numbers" and then by "order number". I have one order number in this scenario that is shipped via multiple shipments. It seems to me that after rolling it up via PowerPivot and then creating a pivot table, it's calculating the average based on the total lines of the "order number" instead the pivot.
PowerPivot Data:
Pivot based on data above:
How can I get the average number based on the pivot table rather than the PowerPivot total data of the order number? I'm probably not making any sense, but hopefully the images below explain it better. As you can see, when you roll up the items by ship number then by order number, you'll see that the actual average is 0.6 but the pivot is showing 0.5.
Help!
Technically speaking, the average is correct - if you look at the source data, for some reason all rows are duplicated and if you do regular average calculation, it's actually 0.5.
What you are looking for is calculating average for distinct values, which can be done easily with AVERAGEX function.
I have copied your table and created those 2 Calculated Fields (in Excel 2010, it's Measures):
Average on Time:
=AVERAGE(Table1[On Time])
Average on Time (UNIQUE)
=AVERAGEX(VALUES(Table1[Ship Number]), [Average on Time])
Using AverageX with VALUES() function makes it easier to calculate any expression ONLY for unique values.
If you then put both measures on PivotTable, you should get this:
First column is same as yours (using "regular" AVERAGE function). The second one shows the average calculated over distinct (unique) values of Ship Numbers.
Hope this helps.
PS: This great article by Kasper de Jonge helped me quite a bit with similar scenarios.
