How to lookup up values depending on Averaging when Duplicates (ties) exist
Two questions....
1) is there a simpler or more elegant way of stripping the "T"s from column D than the formula in E3 =arrayformula(if(left(D3:D)=" T",Value(replace(D3:D,1,1,"")) ,D3:D))

2) the real reason for this post - how can I fill out Column G based on the values in Column C when ties are averaged (see examples in column H)?

following is a solution to the problem
Keep up the good work. I know from experience it's not always easy!

Of course this works perfectly and it is elegant.
ReplyDeleteI don't understand why repeating the search range as the criteria counts duplicates. Do you have the time to provide a conceptual foundation for this so I can generalize and use in other places?
I broke the formula apart to try to understand better, but there is a key conceptual piece I am missing.

Hi Meph:
ReplyDeleteThe part of the fromula ...
countif(D3:D,D3:D)
says count the number of times entries D3:D occur in range D3:D
I hope this helps.
Cheers!
