    Averaging by a Field Value.

    I'd like to create a field in a spreadsheet which displays an average. I'd like the average to be calculate for each distinct value from a separate field. For instance if that field was the date, the field would display for every row entry that particular daily average. How can I do this?

    One caveat is that there may be a variable number of entries per day.

    You can use AVERAGEIF()

    e.gh.

    =AVERAGEIF(A:A,X1,B:B)

    where column A contains Dates, X1 contains Date of interest to look for, and column B contains values to average based on the condition
    Where there is a will there are many ways.
