Calculation based on number of empty cells

[murthybhs]

Hello everyone,

I have a data set like this:

I want an average of the cells going back 5 cells from the most recent occurrence and multiply the average to the number of empty cells after the most recent occurrence.

For example, let's consider company A: Here the most recent occurrence is NOV_2020, so I want an average of JUL_2020 to NOV_2020. As shown in the image, it is 1500. So I want 1500 multiplied by 1 since there is only one empty cell after NOV_2020 i.e. 1000 (most recent occurance)

For example, in company B: The most recent occurrence is SEP_2020. Going back to 5 cells, the average from MAY_2020 to SEP_2020 is 10800. But there are 3 empty cells after SEP_2020. So, I want the average to be multiplied by 3.

Any help in this would be highly appreciated. Thank you for being amazing!!
