Hi folks,
I'm trying to calculate a weighted average for a set of data.
I've already used SUMPRODUCT successfully in another part of the spreadsheet but now my date is not in a continuous range so I'm struggling with it.
I have tried 2 approaches:

Attempt 1:
Breaking up the essence of the SUMPRODUCT formula into something like this:
=IF(G17=3,"N/A",((F7*C7)+(F10*C10)+(F13*C13))/(((C7*C7)+(C10*C10)+(C13*C13))/7.5))

Attempt 2:
Creating a separate list with links to the data so the data is in order and I can use SUMPRODUCT.
That creates its own issues. I'm having to use the VALUE function in order for SUMPRODUCT to return a value. Otherwise it returns 0.
The I'm having issues as it is possible to have N/A (text, not error) in the data which causes SUMPRODUCT to return #VALUE!

I'm posting my attempts here, there are a few so excuse the messy bits.

What I'm trying to achieve:
In G7 I want the weighted average of - F7, F10, F13 with the weights being in - C7, C10, C13 and the result expressed as a percent.

G7 currently relates to Attempt 1 above
R9 currently relates to Attempt 2 above

I appreciate any help.

Excel Facts

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
It looks like the weights are in column D not column C.

Also, why are you multiplying the values in column C by themselves (squaring them) in the denominator of the formula in column G?

Hi Jon,
apologies, the column headings are misleading. Values in the hashed cells are being used as interim calculation steps and will be hidden in the final worksheet to the user.
Column D (white cells) contains the weights used in the calculation of the values in F7, F10 & F13. I have used SUMPRODUCT for this and it works.
I am now trying to move on a level and get the weighted average of the values in F7, F10 & F13. This value will be displayed in G7.
The weights for this calculation will be in C7, C10 & C13. These are stripped from the text strings in B7, B10 & B13 respectively.
I cannot get SUMPRODUCT to work with this data as it is separated by other rows.
The formula currently in G7 is my attempt to use a deconstructed SUMPRODUCT to effectively attain the same result. This works fine except when either F7, F10 or F13 evaluates to N/A, which is a valid result for those cells. To account for this using my current formula I would have to write a monster nested IF statement. At least that's as far as my knowledge goes.
As an alternative I decided to bring that data together so that I could again use SUMPRODUCT. That is what is attempted in columns R & S above.
Using SUMPRODUCT on this data returned a value of 0. So I used the VALUE function to get SUMPRODUCT to recognise the values.
But introducing N/A as a value has the same impact here, SUMPRODUCT doesn't like it and I get an error.

Also, why are you multiplying the values in column C by themselves (squaring them) in the denominator of the formula in column G?
I had problems converting my SUMPRODUCT results into a percentage. I was trying to obtain a standard formula that I could use to achieve this. In a previous iteration of the spreadsheet I had used this and it worked so I was reluctant to mess with it. But then the parameters were changed and I had to do further manipulation. As you can see there is also a /7.5 in the denominator.

I hope it's clear what I'm trying to achieve but just in case I'm posting the full spreadsheet below and a recap.
I appreciate any help you can provide on this Jon.

What I'm trying to achieve:

In section - Management / Quality Culture / Training (20)
Level 1:
F7 should contain the weighted average of the Score in E8:E9 with the weights being in D8:D9
F10 shold contain the weighted average of the Score in E11:E12 with the weights being in D11:D12
F13 shold contain the weighted average of the Score in E14:E15 with the weights being in D14:D15
Level 2:
G7 should contain the weighted average of the Summary in F7, F10, F13 with the weights being in C7, C10, C13 respectively

In section - Improvements (20)
Level 1:
F20 should contain the weighted average of the Score in E21:E24 with the weights being in D21:D24
F25 should contain the weighted average of the Score in E26:E28 with the weights being in D26:D58
F29 should contain the weighted average of the Score in E30:E31 with the weights being in D30:D31
Level 2:
G20 should contain the weighted average of the Summary in F20, F25, F29 with the weights being in C20, C25, C29 respectively

This is the same for sections: Feedback (25), Facility (15) & Manufacturing (20)

Level 3: (Total Score):
G87 should contain the weighted average of the Section Score in G7, G20, G34, G58, G70 with the weights being in G16, G30, G53, G66, G83 respectively

Column F formulas are SUMPRODUCT. For example, F7:

Excel Formula:
=SUMPRODUCT(E8:E9,D8:D9)/SUM(D8:D9)

Column G formulas are sums of products. For example, G7:

Excel Formula:
=(F7*C7+F10*C10+F13*C13)/(C7+C10+C13)

Hi Jon,
the SUMPRODUCT formula works fine.
I had started off with something like your second formula: =(F7*C7+F10*C10+F13*C13)/(C7+C10+C13)
This works fine as long as either F7, F10 or F13 are not N/A. Then it returns an error.

That doesn't work because N/A is text not #N/A error.

That's giving me a result Jon, but not the correct result.
In my data, if one subsection e.g. F7 is N/A, then the other two subsections i.e. F10 and F13 now make up 100%.
So with F7 = N/A and F10 and F13 both = 100%, G7 should return 100%. Your formula returns 75%.

Excel Formula:
=(N(F7)*C7+N(F10)*C10+N(F13)*C13)/(ISNUMBER(F7)*C7+ISNUMBER(F10)*C10+ISNUMBER(F13)*C13)
