    Averaging ''Names'' to columns in a range.

    Afternoon All

    I've got a formula that needs solving(ps the one i'm going to post is totally hypothetical)

    Basically I want to find a way of averaging each persons number, I know some names are in different columns but i want a way where i can get the name of the person and link it up to the column(the number)

    I cannot find a formula that can do this.

    Please can anyway help me.

    Thank you

    Re: Averaging ''Names'' to columns in a range.

    If your numbers are all 1 then

    Formula for E17

    =COUNTIF($D$5:$K$12,D17)


    Otherwise formula for E17 entered using Ctrl Shift Enter

    =SUM(IF($D$5:$K$12 =D17,$E$5:$L$12,0))

    Hi Mate,

    thank you but it doesn't work pal.

    I'm looking for the average not the sum

    Basically the ones I included are more of a test run than an actual document, the document I will be using will potentially have different numbers to represent the names.

    I'm looking for the average amount for the names mentioned on the sheet.
