*For example, it is used to calculate average rate of growth of human population.  
*The geometric mean of two numbers, is  the square root of their product and the geometric mean of the three numbers is the cube root of their product.  
+
*The Geometric Mean of two numbers is, the square root of their product.
*So the geometric mean of n numbers is defined as the nth root of the product of the numbers.
+
*The Geometric Mean of the three numbers is, the cube root of their product.  
*In GEOMEAN(n1,n2...)n1,n2.., are positive real numbers and n1 is required. n2,n3.. are optional.
+
*So the geometric mean of <math>n</math> numbers is defined as the <math>n^{th}</math> root of the product of the numbers.
*The  arguments  can be numbers ,names, arrays or references that contain numbers.

*The values are ignored, when the argument contains logical values or empty cells.  
*The geometric and arithmetic means are equal when all the numbers in the given set are equal,otherwise the geometric mean of a data set is less than the data set's arithmetic mean.

*The Geometric and Arithmetic Means are equal, when all the numbers in the given set are equal, otherwise the Geometric Mean of a data set is less than the data set's Arithmetic Mean.
 
*The geometric mean of a data set {a1,a2 ...,an} is given by:
 
*The geometric mean of a data set {a1,a2 ...,an} is given by:
[PI(){i=1 to n} ai] ^{1/n} = sqrt[n]{a1, a2 ... an}.
