Microsoft Excel Tutorial: Calculate Average Cost per Year in Excel.

Derek has a fleet of vehicles and a list of all repairs made in the last 20 years. He wants to figure out how the annual repair and maintenance costs change as the vehicle ages.

In this video, MrExcel discusses how to calculate annual repair costs based on the age of a vehicle. He provides a data set of repairs made on a fleet of vehicles and explains how to determine the first date each vehicle was placed in service. He suggests using an approximation for vehicles without records by subtracting a certain number of days from the first service date. MrExcel then demonstrates how to calculate the age of each repair using the DATEDIF function. He suggests using a pivot table to calculate the total spent in each year for each vehicle. He also mentions the use of the AVERAGE function to determine the average cost of repairs based on the age of the vehicle. MrExcel concludes by mentioning that the data used in the demonstration is fictional and thanks the person who sent in the question.
