Hi all,

I have a column of numbers, below left, that updates via a DDE. New entries are added to the bottom. A second column, below right, contains numbers that are simple moving averages of the most recent five entries in the first column. I use =average( to calculate this number. Every time a new number is added to the data column, I use the fill function manually to calcualte the new average.

Is it possible to create a macro that will do this averaging calculation? I know how to create a macro using fill, but I don't know how to make the macro get fill to always look to the most recent five data entries. :confused:

The columns look like this in the worksheet.

(Data) (Average of last five data entries)
1.1669 1.1367
1.1694 1.1400
1.1832

Thanks in advance, :)
