Free Excel Formula Cheat Sheet: http://chandoo.org/img/e2010/formula-cheat-sheet.pdfIt is Easter Time again. Although I am not in Scandinavia (where Easter is a big thing) any more, we have a rather biggish family gathering here at PHD household during this weekend. We are also having anna prashanam for the little ones. It is the ceremony we do in India when kids eat rice for first time. [more about Anna Prashanam rituals on Wikipedia]

So, as you can imagine, PHDs will be busy during the weekend and on Monday as well. But we don’t want a dull Easter for you. So I have hidden 3 Easter eggs in this post. Go ahead and discover them to enjoy your Easter.

Weighted Average in Excel with Percentage Weights

Weighted Average in Excel [Formulas]

Learn how to calculate weighted averages in excel using formulas. In this article we will learn what a weighted average is and how to Excel’s SUMPRODUCT formula to calculate weighted average / weighted mean.

What is weighted average?

Wikipedia defines weighted average as, “The weighted mean is similar to an arithmetic mean …, where instead of each of the data points contributing equally to the final average, some data points contribute more than others.”

Calculating weighted averages in excel is not straight forward as there is no built-in formula. But we can use SUMPRODUCT formula to easily calculate them. Read on to find out how.

    I am fascinated by the Anna Prashanam ceremony. This is a wonderful way to mark key life passages. Will you elaborate on the following part "The feeding ceremony is often followed with a game, in which the child is presented with a tray containing a number of objects. These will include a bangle or jewel (symbolizing wealth), a book (symbolizing learning), a pen (symbolizing career) and a clay pot or container of earth/soil (symbolizing property). The child's future direction and prospects in life are indicated by the object which it prefers to hold and play with." Thanks.

    @bill... "Will you elaborate on the following part “The feeding ceremony is often followed with a game, in which the child is presented with a tray containing a number of objects.

    It is fairly common in Indian traditions to celebrate various key phases in life with festival like events. Although we didnt have the game for the kids, it is a common practice and done mostly for fun than to determine kids future.

    Other events that celebrated include naming of the kid (done in first month), first time the kid is introduced to writing (ie education) etc.

    Just note we, PHDs do not follow any religion per se. I am a Hindu, Jo is a Christian. But we want our kids to be religion free and make informed choices on their faith once they are of age... 🙂
