In I2:
=SUMPRODUCT($L$8:$L$19*(B2:H2=$K$8:$K$19))/COUNTA(B2:H2)

Hi Hans, This didn't seem to work. Perhaps I didn't explain myself though. I tried an array formula in the total column to average out the scores given to John, so B2 to H2 with the average showing in I2. This only works if you have letters not an A+ or B-, it wont recognise the minus or plus symbols.
I then thought I could create a list and give each letter a score/number and use this to create a formula. That is as far as I got as I don't know how to use the list to create the formula I need.
Thanks for helping me though. I am still trying 🙂
