Hello,

I'm working on a dataset of historical price data. The set has dates in column A, and prices in column B. Through a macro I have inserted a blank row at the end of every month. Will you help me write a macro that averages the prices in the rows above the blank rows? Keep in mind that there are different numbers of rows per blank-row interval. Thank you.

Example:
Before:
10
14
(empty row)
20
30
22
(empty row)
14
16
(empty row)
After:
10
14
12
20
30
22
24
14
16
15

subtotal function will do

sample data like this(col. c additional column . C2 has formula
=month(a2) and c2 is copied down.


date price month
1-Jan 42 1
8-Jan 90 1
15-Jan 68 1
1-Feb 66 2
9-Feb 84 2
18-Feb 62 2
2-Mar 41 3
5-Mar 82 3
28-Mar 75 3


click data(menu bar)-subtotals

in the subtotal window
"at each change in"
choose "price"

under "use function"
choose "average"

under add subtotal to
check "month"
check "replace current subtotals"
check "summary below data"
click ok

you will get


date price month

8-Jan 90 1
15-Jan 68 1
66.66666667 1 Average
