AVERAGEIF function

PRO BASIC

The AVERAGEIF function in Jspreadsheet Formulas Pro is a tool that allows you to calculate the average of a group of cells within a specific range that meet a certain condition. For instance, you could use this function to find the average sales volume for a particular product, or the average score of a student in tests. The formula takes into account only those cells that fulfill the set criteria, before calculating the average. This makes it a powerful function for analyzing specific data within a larger dataset.

Documentation

Returns the average (arithmetic mean) of all cells in a range that meet a specified criteria.

Category

Statistical

Syntax

AVERAGEIF(range, criteria, [average_range])

Parameter Description
range The range of cells to be evaluated by the criteria.
criteria The criteria used to determine which cells to include in the average. Can be a number, expression, cell reference, or text string.
average_range Optional. The range of cells to be averaged. If omitted, the range parameter is also used as the average range.

Behavior

The AVERAGEIF function calculates the average of the cells specified by a given condition or criteria. Here's how it handles different contents:

  • Empty cells: Empty cells are ignored during the calculation.

  • Text: The function does not consider text when calculating the average. However, text can be used as a condition or criteria for the cells to be averaged.

  • Booleans: Boolean values are treated as numbers, with TRUE as 1 and FALSE as 0.

  • Errors: If any cell in the range has an error, the function will return an error.

  • Non-number criteria: Non-number criteria are enclosed in double-quotes. For example, text or dates should be given in double-quotes.

Common Errors

Error Description
#DIV/0! This error occurs if the criteria does not match any cell in the range, causing a division by zero.
#VALUE! This error occurs when the criteria is a text string that is not enclosed in double quotes.

Best practices

  1. Always ensure your criteria is in the correct format. If you're using a text string or a date as the criteria, make sure it is enclosed in double quotes.

  2. Use absolute cell references if you want to copy your AVERAGEIF formula to other cells without changing the range.

  3. Avoid including error cells in your range to prevent the AVERAGEIF function from returning an error.

  4. Handle #DIV/0! errors by wrapping your AVERAGEIF function with the IFERROR function. This way you can display a friendlier message or a zero instead of the error.

Usage

A few examples using the AVERAGEIF function.

AVERAGEIF(A1:A5, '>3')  
AVERAGEIF(B2:F2, 'red', B3:F5)  
AVERAGEIF(C2:C9, '<>0', D2:D9)
