Weighted Average (average of average)

https://www.contextures.com/excel-pivot-table-calculated-field.html

 

 

You will need this for pivoting stats such as Avg. position in Google ads

 


 

  • Take Impressions
  • Get average position(s)so you can see how many times the ad was displayed (this number would have been used to work out the average)

 

  • Then calculate your own metrics ‘Avg. Position Index’

Do this by multiplying Impressions by Av. Position.

 

  • We can now make a pivot table from this data and create a calculated field for our true average position.

It’s simply the sum of the average position index divided by the sum of impressions.

Weight Average Quality Score

 

To do this with Av. Quality Score.

 

  • Download the Keyword’s impressions & Quality score
  • Create the index by multiplying Quality Score by Impressions.
  • Then Sum both the Quality Score & Impressions & divide them.
    – Sum of Quality Score INDEX/Sum of Impressions

 

This will give you a weighted average comparing all KWs.
