I have Balances listed in columns b c d etc. In cell A1 it gives me the
average of all B1, C1 D1 etc. In A2 it gives me the averages of all b2, c2,d2
etc, and this continues down.

Each morning I enter the days' averages. So today, I want averages b1, c1,
d1. Tomorrow I will enter a new colum, so I will then want the averages b1,
c1, d1, e1. How can the equiation in A1 stay the same each time i enter a
column.
 
Average will ignore blank cells. So use something like:
=average(b1:az1)
and copy down

Regards,
Fred.
 
I did think about that, but each time I add a colum (I'm adding it in culmn
B) it moves the average over. So if it currently reads =average(B1:D1) and I
add a culmn in B, it goes =average (C1:E1) when I want it to read =average
(B1:E1)

I need to add the columns in B because I need the most recent Information up
front.
 
Try it this way:
=average(indirect("b1:az1"))

Then the addresses won't change.

Regards,
Fred.
