Examples
This example references the following sheet information:
| Customer | Item | Quantity Ordered | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Joe | Shirt | 10 |
| 2 | Joe | Hat | 8 |
| 3 | Sally | Shirt | 20 |
Based on the table above, here are some examples of using AVERAGEIF in a sheet:
| Formula | Description | Result |
|---|---|---|
| =AVERAGEIF(Customer:Customer, "Joe", [Quantity Ordered]:[Quantity Ordered]) | Averages the values in the Quantity Ordered column, but only for the rows where the Customer is Joe. | 9 |
| =AVERAGEIF(Item:Item, "Shirt", [Quantity Ordered]:[Quantity Ordered]) | Averages the values in the Quantity Ordered column, but only for the rows where the Item is Shirt. | 15 |
If you need to add two criteria, for example, the average quantity of shirts that Joe orders, use a combination of AVG and COLLECT.
