OK that worked beautifully. Thank you very much.
Now, I am legitimately working on learning to use awk on the fly without pouring over forums to get what I need. You seem to have mastered this already. Would you be willing to break down the code you just wrote and tell me what each piece is doing? This is not something I see done very often , and most of the resources on unix programming do not go into enough detail on what is actually being issued. I am assuming others would benefit from this as well. Thank you in advance if you are willing to do that.

Hi, I tried to do this in excel but there is a limit to how many rows it can handle.
All I need to do is average each column in a file and get the final value.
My file looks something like this (obviously a lot larger):

IGAWK(1) Utility Commands IGAWK(1)
NAME
igawk - gawk with include files
SYNOPSIS
igawk [ all gawk options ] -f program-file [ -- ] file ...
igawk [ all gawk options ] [ -- ] program-text file ...
DESCRIPTION
Igawk is a simple shell script that adds the ability to have ``include files'' to gawk(1).
AWK programs for igawk are the same as for gawk, except that, in addition, you may have lines like
@include getopt.awk
in your program to include the file getopt.awk from either the current directory or one of the other directories in the search path.
OPTIONS
See gawk(1) for a full description of the AWK language and the options that gawk supports.
EXAMPLES
cat << EOF > test.awk
@include getopt.awk
BEGIN {
while (getopt(ARGC, ARGV, "am:q") != -1)
...
}
EOF
igawk -f test.awk
