HX1 Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Calculations and formulas in Excel are easy... However the formulas are written by by function and location.. and can include any cell indicated...Your question is unclear which is probably why you haven't gotten a response..For example: =AVERAGE(K10, L10) entered into a cell takes the two values in those cells ( K10, L10 ) and averages them. Then that value is what shows in the cell where the formula was entered. You can add other cells by entering a comma.Excel 2010 will follow formatting according to where the formula was copied and how it is pasted. You can also copy the formula using the same data or multiple instances of the first number... You may also use the result of said calculation or formula in another cell as part of another formula.Question is quite easy.. actually.. The help in the program is easy to understand.. so I would actually look into some of the detailed info available in it... ( and trial and error ) it may allow you to get a better understanding of the program for more proefficient usage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll try to explain now.green cell contain formula and the yellow cells are variables.http://s22.postimg.org/t6cf64qkh/Untitled.jpgsee here average from 1,2,3,4,5 is 3 but every number is in separate cell.can i make something like thishttp://s22.postimg.org/63lw6yp35/Untitled1.jpg in one cell to type 1,2,3,4,5 and in other excel to calculate average from every number in the cell separate. to be more specific in cell B1 to have the same result 3 - the average of 1,2,3,4,5.thanks for your time Edited August 15, 2013 by LjubeGVG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
