Functions
AVERAGE Function
AVERAGE – a function used to compute for
the average of the number of a range.
Syntax:
=AVERAGE(cells involved)
AVERAGEIF – a function used to compute for
the average of a range if a certain condition is
met.
Syntax:
=AVERAGEIF(range, criteria, average range)
o Range – the range of cells where you want to
look for the criteria.
o Criteria – a value or label that determines if a
cell is part of the range to be averaged.
o Average Range – the actual range of cells that
will be averaged.
COUNT Function
COUNT – to count the number of cells that
contain numbers.
Syntax:
=COUNT(range)
o Range – the cells where the counting will take
place.
COUNTIF – a function used to count the cells
with a specified content within a range.
Syntax:
=COUNTIF(range, criteria)
o Range – the cells where the counting will take
place.
o Criteria – the label or value that determines if it
is to be counted.
