Hi,

I’ve put together an example below that illustrates what I need to do. </SPAN></SPAN>

I need a formula in E2 that calculates the average number in B2:B21 where column A2:A21 =’s E1 [Apple] ie The average of 200</SPAN></SPAN>

I need also need a formula in E3 that calculates the median number in B2:B21 where column A2:A21 =’s E1 [Apple]</SPAN></SPAN>

Can anyone help me please?</SPAN></SPAN>
