    Need a formula to help with averaging three columns of data

    I have three columns of data that are identical. They all are numbered 1 through 30. I need each row to average out as close to 15 as possible. Each number (1 through 30) can only be used once in each column.

    Example with only 3 numbers in each column with each row averaging 2.
    1 3 2 Avg 2
    2 1 3 Avg 2
    3 2 1 Avg 2

    Easy with just 3 numbers. Can't really figure it out manually with 30 numbers in each column. Is there a formula I can use to figure this out?

    Re: Need a formula to help with averaging three columns of data

    Hi,

    you could try


    =AVERAGE(A1:C1)

    or

    =AVERAGE(A1:A30)

    to calculate avg among numbers in A1:A30


    Hope it helps
