Hi All,

How would i find the weighted average of the column titled "ALCOHOL % SEGMENTS". At the moment if i just take the average of all the values in that column i end up with 5.9. But i want to make sure that i get the weighted average of that column based on the size of each of the segments. So for example the 3.5% segment (that is the top segment with litres sales of 15,183,848) should receive a higher weighting that say the 4.7% segment that has sales of 780,111. But how do i do that in the formula in cell A80??

Excel Facts

Which Excel functions can ignore hidden rows?
The SUBTOTAL and AGGREGATE functions ignore hidden rows. AGGREGATE can also exclude error cells and more.
As per my calculation, Weighted Average should be:
=SUMPRODUCT($A$7:$A$79*$C$7:$C$79)
=4.22
