AVERAGE()

• Parameters are values or range of cells containing values.
• AVERAGE() returns the average (arithmetic mean) of all the numbers in a column.
  
  

NOTE:

• This function takes the specified column as an argument and finds the average of the values in that column.
• Does not support Logical and Text Values.
• Cells with the value zero are included.
• If Data type is Integer/ Numeric/ Decimal, Average skip the null value.

AVERAGE(A2:A5) = 2.5
AVERAGE(B2:B5) = 1333.33

AVERAGEA()

• AVERAGEA() returns the average (arithmetic mean) of the values in a column. Handles text and non-numeric values.
  
  

NOTE:

The AVERAGEA function takes a column and averages the numbers, but also handles non-numeric data types according to the following rules:

• It support Logical values.
• Logical value TRUE counts as 1 & FALSE counts as 0.
• Values that contain non-numeric text count as 0.
• Empty text (" ") counts as 0.

AVERAGEA(A2:A5) = 2.5
AVERAGEA(B2:B5) = 1333.33
AVERAGEA(D2:D5) = 0.5

AVERAGEX()

• AVERAGEX() calculates the average (arithmetic mean) of a set of expressions evaluated over a table.
  
  

NOTE:

The AVERAGEX function takes a column and averages the numbers, but also handles non-numeric data types according to the following rules:

• The function takes a table as its first argument, and an expression as the second argument.
• The AVERAGEX function enables you to evaluate expressions for each row of a table, and then take the resulting set of values and calculate its arithmetic mean.
• You cannot include non-numeric or null cells. Both the table and expression arguments are required.
• When there are no rows to aggregate, the function returns a blank. When there are rows, but none of them meet the specified criteria, then the function returns 0.
• Does not support Logical/ boolean values.

AVERAGEX(A2:A5) = 2.5
