My main goal is to calculate a weighted average purchase price that is variable and I not really sure how to tackle this. I have made a simple example and hopefully you all will be able to follow along (let me know if you need more details)

Example: I have 4 types of stock (Financial, Banking, Industrial, Technology) that I may purchase. If I decide to buy/sell these stocks it is recorded in this table:

<b>Excel 2007</b><table cellpadding="2.5px" rules="all" style=";background-color: #FFFFFF;border: 1px solid;border-collapse: collapse; border-color: #A6AAB6"><colgroup><col width="25px" style="background-color: #E0E0F0" /><col /><col /><col /><col /><col /></colgroup><thead><tr style=" background-color: #E0E0F0;text-align: center;color: #161120"><th></th><th>T</th><th>U</th><th>V</th><th>W</th><th>X</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr ><td style="color: #161120;text-align: center;">1</td><td style="text-align: center;color: #FFFFFF;background-color: #1F497D;;">Age</td><td style="text-align: center;color: #FFFFFF;background-color: #1F497D;;">Buy/Sell</td><td style="text-align: center;color: #FFFFFF;background-color: #1F497D;;">Stocks</td><td style="text-align: center;color: #FFFFFF;background-color: #1F497D;;">Quantity</td><td style="text-align: center;color: #FFFFFF;background-color: #1F497D;;"> Purchase Price </td></tr><tr ><td style="color: #161120;text-align: center;">2</td><td style="text-align: center;;">25</td><td style="text-align: center;;">Bought</td><td style=";">Industrial</td><td style="text-align: center;;">10</td><td style="text-align: right;;"> $ 10.00 </td></tr><tr ><td style="color: #161120;text-align: center;">3</td><td style="text-align: center;;">27</td><td style="text-align: center;;">Bought</td><td style=";">industrial</td><td style="text-align: center;;">5</td><td style="text-align: right;;"> $ 6.00 </td></tr><tr ><td style="color: #161120;text-align: center;">4</td><td style="text-align: center;;">27</td><td style="text-align: center;;">Bought</td><td style=";">Financial</td><td style="text-align: center;;">6</td><td style="text-align: right;;"> $ 20.00 </td></tr><tr ><td style="color: #161120;text-align: center;">5</td><td style="text-align: center;;">28</td><td style="text-align: center;;">Sold</td><td style=";">Industrial</td><td style="text-align: center;;">-11</td><td style="text-align: right;;"> $ 12.00 </td></tr></tbody></table><p style="width:4.8em;font-weight:bold;margin:0;padding:0.2em 0.6em 0.2em 0.5em;border: 1px solid #A6AAB6;border-top:none;text-align: center;background-color: #E0E0F0;color: #161120">Player 1</p><br /><br />

If I purchase more of a stock in a different year I want to be able to calculate the weighted average to get a more realistic price. Logic for the first two purchases of Industrial stock would be (10/15)($10) +(5/15)($6) = $8.67. Now if I were to sell 11 shares, I need the logic to determine that my ten $10 shares are gone and that I only have four $6 shares left.

I am assuming I need to start by looking up a stock based on if its a "Bought or Sold" and its name. From there I am not quite sure how to handle coding this. Please let me know if you have any suggestions

Why does 9 mean SUM in SUBTOTAL?
It is because Sum is the 9th alphabetically in Average, Count, CountA, Max, Min, Product, StDev.S, StDev.P, Sum, VAR.S, VAR.P.

Hi Adam, I don't believe that I will be able to use a worksheet formula, as my table is going to be populated over time and will increase in rows. I also can't have a negative weighted purchase price amount. I am looking for a VBA solution because going forward I believe it would be the most effective way for solving theses equations

I think forumla is better (although I'll be biased lol). We can set it up with dynamic named ranges to account for the changing ranges.

And if you don't want negative weighted prices, what do you want to do when you're already in profit but you still own shares?

Thanks
Adam

Ok, so here is where the overall information with be displayed (disregard the numbers as I changed them in my example to make it a little bit easier to go through the logic):

All that I am trying to do is change the purchase price in this table based on the historical data I will be collecting in the first table that I had posted. Once the stock is sold, the sale amount is placed in a separated cell that tallies the total money earned (so I am not too worried about calculating profit at this point). Going with my example after the 4 transactions cell H6 should equal $6 and Cell G6 should equal 4 shares. Cell G4 = 6 shares and H4= $20. Does that make a little more sense?

On the assumption that purchase price are price per share.. the formula will compute for moving average price every time you bought a stock..

MrVillareal -- I'm loving the first 3 lines of your solution! Do you have any idea how I could handle the "Sold" stocks?? Possible on a first in (purchased) first out (sold) basis?

If you are using average price for bought stocks you should also use average price as basis for your gain or loss on sale..that is why with my presentation I put the average price for sold stock so could easily determine your gain or loss on sale for a particular stock..the sold price for is 12 less average price of 8.67 as gain on sale.

ok, I believe I understand you logic there. Now I think I'm getting confused with all these different numbers. Is my logic correct (see below)
