Hi.
I have some data in a column that looks like this:

VB

Temperature:
114
114
114
114
114
114
113
113
114
114
113
114
113
113
113
113
113
113
113
113
113

As you can see there are some "113" in there between the "114".
I would like to smooth out the data so the numbers, in this case, would become 114.
I am not sure how to do this in Excel.

Can someone help?
Thanks

Solution 1

I have come up with a solution.
Using this formula:

=ROUNDUP(AVERAGE(O5;O6;O4);0)

This smooths out my data pretty well for series that do not have a big gap.

I am pretty certain that there is something more elegant out there.
If someone knows another way to do this then please let me know.

Thanks.
