   On Tuesday, the instructor lectured us on different things having to do with the autosum function but he never explained how to make excel calculate weighted averages. When I started to do the homework this evening, I found out that the assignment that I am supposed to turn in tomorrow morning requires me to do the weighted averages for test scores on this worksheet. I have no idea how to do this and the book doesn't explain it either!!! The book doesn't tell me anything about weighted averages!! Now I am behind in both of my computer classes (which I normally do very well in) and I am just hoping I am not the only person having trouble with this so I don't have to make a special trip to the instructor's office to get help with it.

   At least I am still doing well in math and english *sighs as she envisions her gpa going straight down the drain*

   Can you look online for information on how to calculate weighted averages? I wish I could help, but I know nothing about Excel. If you need a break, head on over to the Night Shift! :D

   A while back, I had to figure the same thing out. I think I used this as an example of what to do-- hope it helps!

   Thanks! I will try that out tomorrow if the instructor does not give us a different way to do it in class.

   Just don't give up, honey. Excel is my favorite program and I use it a LOT.
