    Hi @DannyApa

    You can use an AVERAGEIF Function to Average one column based on criteria in another.

    Example structure:

    =AVERAGEIF([Criteria Column]:[Criteria Column], "Criteria", [Column to Avg]:[Column to Avg])

    In your sheet, it would look something like this:

    =AVERAGEIF([Issue Category]:[Issue Category], HAS(@cell, "Connectivity"), MTTR:MTTR)


    I used the HAS Function because it looks like your Issue Category column is multi-select. HAS will find any cell that has that specific selection, even if it's with other values. Let me know if this works for you!

    Cheers,

    Genevieve
