I'm trying to write a formula to calculate the average investment size weighted by the total dollars we've invested and need to be able to separate out investments we've made through fund 1 and fund 2.

I thought it would look something like this:

=SUMPRODUCT(--(Cell Range ="Fund 1"),(Cell Range Containing Weight where weight = investment/total dollars invested),(Cell Range of Investments Made))/SUMPRODUCT(--('Cell Range="Fund 1"),(Cell Range of Investments Made))

but that produces a result that doesn't make any sense. Anyone have an idea as to what I'm doing incorrectly?

Does total dollars invested need to be separated out by funds as well? I'm missing where weight comes in, seems like a straight average of investments made.
