    Average every nth cell - but with formula in the same column

    Hiya

    I have a formula I want to enter into C3, that returns an average of every 6th cell down in column C, starting from C12. (e.g. C12, C18, C24 etc etc for the rest of the column)

    All the examples I find work when in an adjacent column, but not in the same column. (Circular errors)

    Thoughts?

    Average what exactly?

    There are instructions at the top of the page explaining how to attach your sample workbook (yellow banner: HOW TO ATTACH YOUR SAMPLE WORKBOOK). Screenshots are of little practical use as we cannot manipulate them.

    A good sample workbook has just 10-20 rows of representative data that has been desensitised. It also has expected results mocked up, worked examples where required, relevant cells highlighted and a few explanatory notes.

    One way, please try
    Formula: copy to clipboard
    =LET(c,C6:C99,AVERAGE(FILTER(c,NOT(MOD(SEQUENCE(ROWS(c),,0),6)))))

    Brilliant, thank you Hans!!


    And apologies AliGW - I thought it was simple enough to describe with words, sans workbook, (I just meant =AVERAGE of numbers) - but will be sure to do so next time.
