    Filtering averages on averages generated by the filtering - circular reference prob

    Hi all, this is my first ever online post so go easy on me.

    I have 3 columns, the first is the weight record, the second denotes the sheep and the day the weight was taken, and the third is the combined average of those weight records on that day, i.e. SheepDay! 'A10' has 2 records, with an average of 36.5 (kg).

    My problem is: I need to filter column 1 (sheep weight) so that only weights within +/-10% of the previous filtered Day average (column 4 - no numbers available - the problem!) are kept. However, column 4 is generated from the filtered sheep weights, which rely on column 4 in the first place; hence we have circular reference.

    Weight SheepDay! Day average Filtered Day average
    56.50 A2 56.50
    37.50 A5 37.50
    35.50 A10 36.50
    37.50 A10 36.50

    Theoroetically I can do it one at a time, but # rows = 25000!

    Is there anyway in which it can be done?

    Cheers Dave

    maybe a dummy workbook can help others to "look around" the issue.
    thanks.
    I think people forget the word "THANK YOU!!!!" Do you still know it???

    There is a little star ( ADD REPUTATION ) below those person who helped you. Click it to say your "PRIVATE APPRECIATION TO THEIR EFFORT ON THEIR CONTRIBUTIONS "

    For forum.xlsx

    Hi thanks for the reply. I have attached a file with the data and a small note trying to explain what I want to do.

    If anyone has any ideas it would be much appreciated. I don't believe what I wish for is impossible.
