How to calculate averages of different, non-overlapping cell ranges in Excel using a single formula

Copper Contributor

Hello dear experts! This is Vikas Dixit from India. I wish to calculate averages of different non-overlapping cell ranges in Excel using a single formula, is it possible anyway? To elaborate it further, suppose, I have 4000 observations arranged in a column, say from A1 to A4000. Now I wish to compute averages for each range of 30 observations, i.e., from A1 to A30; from A31 to A60; from A61 to A90, and so on. For this, I want a single formula, which if I copy down to next cell works well. Is there a way out? Please note that being visually challenged, I depend on screen reader, and hence, I use only keyboard (and not mouse), and I have tried to find the answer of this problem on Google, but no satisfactory answer. Please provide me with any possible way out! Thank you in advance! 

Regards!

 Calculate the average of a group of numbers

Calculate the average of numbers not in a contiguous row or column

To do this task, use the AVERAGE function. Copy the table below to a blank worksheet.

Formula

Description (Result)

=AVERAGE(A2:A7)

Averages all of numbers in list above (9.5)

=AVERAGE(A2:A4,A7)

Averages the top three and the last number in the list (7.5)

=AVERAGEIF(A2:A7, "<>0")

Averages the numbers in the list except those that contain zero, such as cell A6 (11.4)
