This is my first post as is the first time I was unable to find an answer already here great forum.

I am working on a scorecard sheet and have named ranges for rows and columns. Rows are named for business functions and columns named for business units. The ranges allow me to simply use a function such as AVERAGE(PRINT) to retrieve an overall average of all print rows for all business units. What I would like to do is find a way to average each unit.

Print = rows 8 - 10 Business Units = Single Column Row 7 will hold Average so

Column "All" Row 7 Formula =Average(Print) gives me an average of all Business Units All rows of Print.

Column "HR" Row 7 I can use Average(D8:D10) to get what I need but would like to use combination of the "Print" and "HR" named ranges.

Thank you

Named Ranges
PR --> C3:D5
HR --> C3:C5
IT --> D3:D5

Formula in B2
=AVERAGE(PRT)

Formula in C2
=AVERAGE(PRT HR)

Formula in D2
=AVERAGE(PRT IT)

M.

I cannot believe this I have been keying in =Average(HR:PRT) like you would for (D:PRT) which works the colon does not work with the two names

Thanks for your help I just need to retrain these old fingers
