How to calculate "comparable" column averages in Excel when some data is missing from the columns?
Q. I have an excel sheet with several columns and would like to calculate the "comparable" averages of several sets of 2 columns. With comparable I mean that only the data for which there is also a value in the other column should be used. e.g. column A contains: 1 - 2 - (missing)- 4 column B contains: 5 - (missing) - 6 - 7 only the 1st and 4th line are present in both columns, so I only want to calculate the averages of both columns based on these values Any idea how I can do this?

A. If you have Excel 2007, you could use the averageifs function. Video Tutorial: New Excel 2007 averageifs function If you don't have Excel 2007 Average of column A =Sumproduct((B1:B4<>"") * (A1:A4<>"") * (A1:A4)) / sumproduct((A1:A4<>"") * (B1:B4<>"")) Average of column B =Sumproduct((B1:B4<>"") * (A1:A4<>"") * (B1:B4)) / sumproduct((A1:A4<>"") * (B1:B4<>"")) This assumes your data is in A1 to B4 .

Does anybody know a store that carries simmering oil (home fragrance) that is comparable to Claire Burke?
Q. I am looking for an online store that carries simmering oil (which is like liquid potpourri) that is comparable to Claire Burkes Christmas Memories. They no longer carry this fragrance in simmering oil and I need it desperately. If you could please name a brand similiar to Clair Burke instead, that would be helpful as well.
