Excel AVERAGEIFS Function

The AVERAGEIFS function can calculate an average based on more than one criteria. The first range given to AVERAGEIFS is the range containing numbers to average. Criteria are supplied in pairs [range, criteria] and only the first pair is required. For each additional criteria, supply another range/criteria pair. The criteria given to AVERAGEIFS are applied with AND logic. Data must meet all criteria to be included in the average. Criteria can include wildcards.

Examples

To average values in A1:A10, where B1:B10 = "A", and C1:C10 > 5, you can use:

=AVERAGEIFS(A1:A10,B1:B10,"A",C1:C10,">5")

In the example shown, the formulas in H6:H8 are:

=AVERAGEIFS(prices,prices,">0",prices,"<500000")
=AVERAGEIFS(prices,beds,">=2",baths,">1")
=AVERAGEIFS(prices,prices,">0")

where "prices" (C6:C15), "beds" (D6:D15), and "baths" (E6:E15) are named ranges.

Note: the order of arguments is different between the AVERAGEIFS and AVERAGEIF functions. The range to average is the first argument in AVERAGEIFS, but the third argument in AVERAGEIF.

Notes

• If no data matches criteria, AVERAGEIFS returns the #DIV0! error 
• Each additional range must have the same number of rows and columns as the avg_range.
• Non-numeric criteria needs to be enclosed in double quotes but numeric criteria does not. For example: 100, "100", ">32", "jim", or A1 (where A1 contains a number).
• The wildcard characters ? and * can be used in criteria. A question mark matches any one character and an asterisk matches any sequence of characters.
• To find a literal question mark or asterisk, use a tilde (~) in front question mark or asterisk (i.e. ~?, ~*).
