Find Serial Number and input Average Value into Adjacent cell Solved/Closed

Question

Hello, 

I'm trying to find out if there is a way to do this. i have a list of 15k serial numbers. several of them repeat because the value vary. i need to be able to type the serial number into a different sheet and it insert the average value for it in the adjacent cell. the tricky part is i need it to search 'exact stings' ex if i type in da1 it only returns value for that number not x09da123. not sure if this is possible but i have to do this manually over 100 times a day and its very time consuming. and please try to explain simply i'm far from a newbie when it comes to excel but i learn thing as i need them and i'm definitely not an expert lol.

Hi Cindy,

You could try using the AVERAGEIF formula:
=AVERAGEIF(Column with s/n, the s/n you want to look up, column with values)

Hi Cindy,

This is what I did:

Sheet1
H1  	        H2x09da123	10da1	        10x09da123	1da1	        1da3	        1 

Sheet2
A2: da1
B2: =AVERAGEIF(Sheet1!A2:A6,A2,Sheet1!B2:B6)
B2 shows the value "5.5".


Can you make it work now?

Best regards,
Trowa
