Calculate Avg # of Days project open - by person
Hi all -
I need to create a formula that displays the average number of days a project is open, filtered by person. If this was a report it would filter all rows by person then calculate the average from there.
How would you approach this? Seems simple but it's not working for me. Thanks!

Hello @Lisa Wood, you would need a few things for this to work, which I will lay out just to assume you don't have any of these.
Pre-req:
Assigned to column (Assigned) for the name of person
Status of project (Status) for Open and Closed or whatever
Duration of project open (Duration). There's a few ways you can populate this.
Formula: =AVG(COLLECT(Duration:Duration, Assigned:Assigned, "Assigned person", Status:Status, "Open"))

Thank you for that! I had to add some cross-sheet references but it seems to be working. Thanks!
