Actually, we don’t need to list all vlookup findings (target values) at all, and we can easily average all vlookup findings with the AVERAGEIF function.
Enter the formula =AVERAGEIF(A1:A24,E2,C1:C24) into a blank cell, and press the Enter key. And then the average of all vlookup findings has been calculated. See screenshot:
