How do you compare to other cubers your age?

Cool... it's coming together. Have you plotted the IQM for 30-39 year olds at the wrong place on the x-axis (~24 years)?

Once that's corrected the trend may well sort itself out.

In all honesty, the new chart was a rush job before leaving work (while I still had access to Excel!), so it's more than possible.

My data tables have IQM and age horizontally, so I copy and paste data only and transpose to allow it to be easily plotable on the same chart. What with removing a lot of the figures, that sounds like just the kind of error I might have made.

I thought it might be something along those lines. Let's see what tomorrow brings!
 
This is great stuff, thanks Pip for pulling it together.

No worries, quite literally my pleasure!

Just tried checking my errors... for the IQM values by age, I used =iferror(trimmean(range, 0.5)), ""), which copes with ages with no valid entries. Of the two spreadsheet packages I have at home, OpenOffice can't cope with 'trimmean', and Pages can't cope with either 'trimmean' or 'iferror'... Looks like it'll have to wait till I get back to work. :mad:
 
That should be fine. It will probably turn out to be a rogue cell still using "average" or the copy+paste of values

Yeah, I'm 100% confident with my formulae, I use Excel a LOT, so I'd be surprised if that were the source of the error.

Rather than delete the sup 40 times from the original sheets, with about 15 minutes left in the office, I copied two sheets and changed all of the references, deleted a load of results, pasted and transposed, then adjusted the chart data references. I'm pretty confident I know where the screwup is!

I didn't think I'd be able to make significant changes at home, but I thought I'd at least be able to open the spreadsheet. I don't think I can justify buying Excel just for making cubing spreadsheets!!!

Not sure if it's too late to post.
YOLO.
