Hello,

I created a table where I display my university grades to calculate my average. However, some grades are worth more than others.
For example, in American Civilization, the first test was worth 30% of the final grade and the second test is worth 70%.
In the first test, I got 8.5/20 and in the second, I got 17/20.

What formula should I apply to get the average of these two grades based on the different percentages assigned to them?

Thank you for your help!

Configuration: Windows / Firefox 43.0

Good evening colinep,

Assuming the grades are in the range B2:C2 and the weights (either as percentages or simply 3 and 7) in B3:C3, in the cell where you want the average you put the formula:
=SUMPRODUCT((B2:C2)*(B3:C3))/SUM(B3:C3)

Best regards
