Use =average() putting the cell references in the brackets e.g. =average(a1:a10)

hope it helps

use the Average function

eg. =Average(A1:A10) will return the mean of the numbers in cells A1-A10

click on the cell at the bottom of the column of figures .. then =AVERAGE(B1:B2) replace B1 & B2 with the cell numbers of those you wish to find the average of.
To insert a row/column highlight the row/column right click then click on insert

Or to do it quickly select all the figures and then right click where it says SUM=x in the bottom right of the status bar. Select Average and it'll show the average in the status bar.

Wish my CEO hated it. He LOVES it.. to the extent he wants it to do stuff it wasnt designed to do - he wants it to do stuff that Access was designed to do.

Thanks for the tips, the programme itself has now been superceded by paper, pencil, and the back of an envelope. Far more enjoyable and reliable and you get to doodle whilst staring out the window.
