Sue van Niekerk

Hi Guys

I am needing help with another formula,

in another sheet I want to extract data from the sheet above

I want to get an average of days (green Highlighted amounts)

is IF DEPT contains REF what is the average of Green Highlighted amounts) and the same for NIS and SSS

Hi @Sue van Niekerk

Hope you are fine, are you highlighted completion days manually or you are using a type of conditional formatting rule, because you can't use the highlight as a criteria in the formula,but if you exchange the highlight with symbol column ( RYG ) then your formula will be as following:

=SUMIFS([completion days]:[completion days], Dept:Dept, @cell = "REF", 
Highlight:Highlight, @cell = "Green") / COUNTIFS(Dept:Dept, @cell = "REF", 
Highlight:Highlight, @cell = "Green")

the following screenshot shows the result:

HI Bassam

my completion days is using a formula (=NETDAYS)

I dont understand the use of the symbols, - why symbols, and do you have a formula for the symbols?

Could you explain in " smart sheet for Dummies" way :-)

@Sue van Niekerk

I used symbol because you can't use highlights as a criteria.
