Hello Excel gurus. This started out as an index/match project but I'm not sure if the best solution lies there. And anyway, I can't get it to work.
Objective: average 2 separate columns in a worksheet and return that average based on 2 criteria. Here is Sheet2:

YearMonthDepartmentActualBudgeted
202110551026.5227.01
202111551028.1026.32
20211255103230.11
202201551027.2928.11
202202551026.9827.13

And my summary Sheet 1 would look like this:

2022
DepartmentProductivity
5510=average(32, 27.29, 26.98)/average(30.11, 28.11, 27.13) = 98.9%

The formula would have to match Sheet1!$B$2 against the Year array in Sheet2, and match Sheet1!$A2 against the Department array in Sheet2. Then calculate the averages for both Actual and Budgeted and divide them.

INDEX MATCH works great for finding individual months in Sheet2, but when I nest INDEX MATCH inside a SUM formula, (I was trying to keep it simple first to see if i could get totals, then average them later), i only get the first row's value of Budgeted. Either that or a #REF. I've been googling this for the last 3 hours and have tried any number of things (SUMIF, FILTER, and of course SUM(AVERAGE(INDEX(MATCH))) but so far i'm coming up empty.

Whats the difference between CONCAT and CONCATENATE?
The newer CONCAT function can reference a range of cells. =CONCATENATE(A1,A2,A3,A4,A5) becomes =CONCAT(A1:A5)
Actually my math is backward. 98.9 would be the quotient if i divided E by D.

another correction: Year 2022 should be in the bottom three rows of Sheet2!A

Issue resolved with =AVERAGEIFS. As usual, i was making things too complicated by half.
