Excel Tutorial – AVERAGEIF

The AVERAGEIF function in Microsoft Excel is a function that calculates the average of a range of cells based on a single criterion. It allows you to find the average of cells that meet a specific condition, rather than the average of all cells in a range.

To use the AVERAGEIF function, follow these steps:

1. Open Microsoft Excel and select the cell where you want the average value to appear.
2. Type the following formula into the cell: =AVERAGEIF(range, criteria, [average_range])
3. Replace “range” with the range of cells that you want to find the average of.
4. Replace “criteria” with the condition that cells must meet in order to be included in the average. For example, to find the average of cells in A1:A10 that are greater than 5, you would type: “>5”.
5. Optional: Replace “average_range” with the range of cells that you want to find the average of. If you omit this argument, Excel will use the range specified in the first argument as the range to average.
6. Press Enter to see the result.

The AVERAGEIF function is very useful for analyzing data and finding the average of specific cells based on a single criterion. It can save you time and effort by allowing you to easily find the average of cells that meet a specific condition.
