averaging on an "if" or "sumproduct"

[Guest]

I have the following:
Column A has names, column B has numbers.
I want to average the numbers in column B, only if the name is "Nick".

Thanks for any help you can give!

Nancy,

Type in this formula where you want the result.

=AVERAGE(IF(A2:A8="Nick",B2:B8,""))

This is an array formula so commit with Ctrl-Shift-Enter which will
result in

{=AVERAGE(IF(A2:A8="Nick",B2:B8,""))}



Cheers,

Steve

=AVERAGE(IF(A2:A20="Nick",B2:B20))

as an array formula, so commit with Ctrl-Shift-Enter
