This is an extending question of the post Average rows with same first columnAverage rows with same first column
Input file:
a 12 13 14
b 15 16 17
a 21 22 23
b 24 25 26
Desired output:
a 16.5 17.5 18.5
b 19.5 20.5 21.5
The awk code in that post is:
awk '
NR>1{
arr[$1] += $2
count[$1] += 1
}
END{
for (a in arr) {
print a "\t" arr[a] / count[a]
}
}
'
Question: This code only works on the first row. How do I expand this code to multiple columns?
