Basically you want an expression that will calculate the averages of the cell ranges B2 + 288i : B288 + 288i and output them to cells E2 + i, where 24*12 = 288 is the offset of cells from time x at one day to time x on the next day, and i is a number which starts at 0 and increments until it reaches 90.

This can be achieved in programmer terms by using a FOR loop. Unfortunately I've never used Excel VBA so I don't know the syntax that you would use to create a for loop, select ranges of cells, use Excel functions, alter cells etc. so I can only steer you in the right direction. I've got loads of assignments atm, but if you can wait until later today, I could learn a bit of VBA and figure out how to do it.
Yes! Something like this is exactly what I need. Seltzer, you may just be a life saver!

I thought if there was a way to use IF-conditions in Excel (I guess there might be?), then perhaps I could also use that to define the days rather than a 24*12 offset.
