ok I think I know what you mean now,  although I have the percentage values for each day - I can use them on a daily basis, however if I am to use on a weekly/monthly basis then I must use the figures to obtain my percentages not the actual percentage for each day.

this right?

Pretty difficult to explain.. i'll try,  we have a resource schedule that uses decimalised hour/mins to work out headcount budget to cover what is required for daily tasks, each task performed has a timing against so we know how long they have spent working on a task based on the volumes they have processed,  I then take this value and then divide by the total hours worked, 100% value means they have worked as expected lower than 100% means they are not performing, above 100% working above objectives. I need to collate this daily info into a weekly table and work out an average for that week,  the same for the monthly. the monthly values will then be added to a yearly table to produce a yr to date average. Since I've been told you cannot average percentage values - I'm a little stuck

HI all,

I've got a wee problem with averages, I use these values all the time for work, On a daily basis I create a file in excel that works out a percentage value for 30+ people, I need to put these values for all people into a table to get weekly and monthly average values from the percentages. I've been told that mathematically you cannot average percentage values ? is this correct ?

dunno
