Can you AutoAverage in Excel?
There is a drop-down next to the AutoSum symbol. Open the drop-down to choose AVERAGE, COUNT, MAX, or MIN
How about
Excel Formula:
=INDEX(INDIRECT("'" &$Q4 &"'!C1:C200"),MATCH(IF(LEFT($R4)="4",$R4*-1,$R4),INDIRECT("'" &Q4 &"'!B1:B200"),0))

Returns with #NA

sorry I don't think I was very clear, I meant the returned value in D4 to be multiplied by -1 if R4 begins with "4"

Thanks

Ok, how about
Excel Formula:
=IF(LEFT($R4)="4",-1,1)*INDEX(INDIRECT("'" &$Q4 &"'!C1:C200"),MATCH($R4,INDIRECT("'" &Q4 &"'!B1:B200"),0))
