Hiya everyone.
How can I do a rolling average that automatically adds a new value when I create a new row? What I mean is this.
I keep a very simple spreadsheet of my monthly business sales which is updated at the end of every month.
I want to keep track of a rolling 6 month average.
Yes, I could manually change the cells (to calulate the average over the last 6 months) but how could I do this automatically? For example, right now the last month of the spreadsheet has July's data in in and then immediatly below this is the 6 month average.
Feb $1000
Mar $1267
Apr $1574
May $990
Jun $1258
July $1500
6 month ave = $1265
But next month I'll want to 'add a row' so I can place the August figure in, and this is the point - how can I get the Formula to AUTOMATICALLY add the August figure and the other previous 5 months.
Feb $1000 (THIS FIGURE IS NOW DROPPED FROM THE AVERAGE)
Mar $1267
Apr $1574
May $990
Jun $1258
July $1500
Aug $1421 (THIS FIGURE IS NOW AUTOMATICALLY INCLUDED IN THE AV)
6 month av = $1335
Hope I've made myself clear! Thanks
