Looks easy, but I could not do it.

For example, if I have a frequency distribution like:

Class - Frequency - Sum
A - 1 - 150
B - 2 - 200
A - 3 - 450
B - 4 - 400

The challenge: using Pivot Tables, how can I calculate the average of 'sum' by classes?

The answer should be:
Average A = 150
Average B = 100

Thanks!
 

Excel Facts

What do {} around a formula in the formula bar mean?
{Formula} means the formula was entered using Ctrl+Shift+Enter signifying an old-style array formula.
Is there any reason this MUST be done within a Pivot Table? It should be a fairly simple calculation without using a Pivot Table.

I just use a single class, but this is a database of 45,000 rows and 20 columns and about 12 different classes in different criteria to get the average. Being one of them timing, it has a quarterly change. Of course that it is easy manually, but the volume and the repetition is cumbersome and time consuming.

So, are you up to the challenge?

Thanks for inquiring!
