Examples
Consider the following table with Stationary Items, Quantity, Price and Percentage Profit.
| Item | Quantity | Price | Profit |
| Pen | >10 | ||
| Item | Quantity | Price | Profit |

| Pencil | 20 | 30 | 15 |
| Books | 15 | 75 | 20 |
| Pen | 30 | 50 | 48.3333 |
= DAVERAGE(A3:D7,"Price",A1:B2) : Calculates the average price of Pens in the range A3 to D7, for the cells with Quantity>10. Returns 66.66499999999999 as a result.
= DAVERAGE(A3:D7,2,A1:B2) : Calculates the average number of Pens in the range A3 to D7, for the cells with Quantity>10. Returns 21 as a result.
= DAVERAGE(A3:D7,"Quantity",A3:B7) : Calculates the average number of all items in the range A3 to D7. Returns 21.75 as a result.
= DAVERAGE(A3:D7,4,A4:B7) : Calculates the average profit of all the items in the range A3 to D7. Returns 3 as a result.
