Any Array Formula gurus out there ?

[mikeincairns]

I am hoping someone knows array formulas better than I, to give me this solution.

The formula I am trying to do has a Vlookup within an array. Here it is:

{=AVERAGE(IF(C5:C13="A Finger",VLOOKUP(D5:D13,Rates,2,FALSE),FALSE))}

In English: I want to find the average rate for the A Finger.

C5:C13 are the Locations in the DATA table. D5:D13 are the codes to lookup in the Rates table.

The correct answer is 16, however the array formula is giving me 10.
The workbook can be downloaded here.

Hi Mike,

I just used this formula in your workbook and it works fine (enter as an array):

=PROMEDIO(SI(C5:C13="A Finger",D5:D13,""))

 

[mikeincairns]

Thanks for the very fast reply mjrofra.
But what you are calculating is the average Code value.

I need the average Rate. Hence the vlookup.

Do you know how to do this?

 

[tusharm]

Let Excel do the heavy lifting by using SQL to do your analysis. Treat the two tables as part of a relational database connected by the common 'Code' field. Also, let MS Query generate the SQL for you.

For how see
Building and using a relational database in Excel (with a little help from MS Query)
http://www.tushar-mehta.com/excel/newsgroups/rdbms_in_excel/index.html

I am hoping someone knows array formulas better than I, to give me this solution.

The formula I am trying to do has a Vlookup within an array. Here it is:

{=AVERAGE(IF(C5:C13="A Finger",VLOOKUP(D5:D13,Rates,2,FALSE),FALSE))}

In English: I want to find the average rate for the A Finger.

C5:C13 are the Locations in the DATA table. D5:D13 are the codes to lookup in the Rates table.

The correct answer is 16, however the array formula is giving me 10.

Try this array formula** :

=AVERAGE(IF(C5:C13="A Finger",LOOKUP(D5:D13,Rates)))

** array formulas need to be entered using the key combination of CTRL,SHIFT,ENTER (not just ENTER). Hold down both the CTRL key and the SHIFT key then hit ENTER.
