Excel AVERAGEIF Function

Excel AVERAGEIF Function Purpose  Get the average of numbers that meet criteria Return value  A number representing the average. Syntax  =AVERAGEIF (range, criteria, [average_range]) Arguments  range - One or more cells, including numbers or names, arrays, or references. criteria - A number, expression, cell reference, or text. average_range - [optional] The cells to average. When omitted, range is used. www.prolearninghub.com

Excel AVERAGEIF Function Usage notes  AVERAGEIF computes the average of the numbers in a range that meet the supplied criteria. If average_range is not supplied, the cells inrange are averaged. If average_range is supplied, cells cells inaverage_range that correspond to cells in range are averaged. To determine which cells are averaged, criteria is applied to range.Criteria can be supplied as numbers, strings, or references. For example, valid criteria could be 10, "10" ">10", or A1. www.prolearninghub.com

Excel AVERAGEIF Function Notes: Cells in range that contain TRUE or FALSE are ignored. Empty cells are ignored in range and average_range when calculating averages. AVERAGEIF returns #DIV/0! if no cells in range meet criteria. Average_range does not have to be the same size as range. The top left cell in average_range is used as the starting point, and cells that correspond to cells in range are averaged. AVERAGEIF allows the wildcard characters question mark (?) and asterisk (*), in criteria. The ? matches any single character and the * matches any sequence of characters. To find a literal ? or *, use a tilde (~) before the character, i.e. ~* and ~?. www.prolearninghub.com

Excel AVERAGEIFs Function

Excel AVERAGEIFS Function Purpose  Average cells that match multiple criteria Return value  The average of the cells that meet all criteria Syntax  =AVERAGEIFS (avg_rng, range1, criteria1, [range2], [criteria2], ...) Arguments  avg_rng - The range to average. range1 - The first range to evaulate. criteria1 - The criteria to use on range1. range2 - [optional] The second range to evaluate. criteria2 - [optional] The criteria to use on range2. www.prolearninghub.com

Excel AVERAGEIFS Function Usage notes  AVERAGEIFS averages cells in a range that match supplied criteria. Unlike the AVERAGEIF function, AVERAGEIFS can apply more than one set of criteria, with more than one range. The first range is the range to be averages. The criteria is supplied in pairs (range/criteria) and only the first pair is required. For each additional criteria, supply an additional range/criteria pair. Up to 127 range/criteria pairs are allowed. Note that 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. www.prolearninghub.com

Excel AVERAGEIFS Function Notes: AVERAGEIFS returns the #DIV0! error value when no criteria are met 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. ~?, ~*). www.prolearninghub.com

Excel COUNTA Function Usage notes Use the COUNTA function to count cells that contain numbers, text, logical values, error values, and empty text (""). COUNTA does not count empty cells. COUNTA will also count items. For example, =COUNTA("a",1,2,3,"") returns 5. Use COUNT to count numeric values only. Count can handle up to 255 values. www.prolearninghub.com

Excel COUNTBLANK Function

Excel COUNTBLANK Function Purpose  Count cells that are blank Return value  A number representing blank cells Syntax  =COUNTBLANK (range) Arguments  range - The range in which to count blank cells. www.prolearninghub.com

Excel COUNTBLANK Function Usage notes  Use the COUNTBLANK function to count blank cells in a range. For example, COUNTBLANK(A1:A10) will count the number of blank cells in the range A1:A10. COUNTBLANK counts the number of cells in the range that don't contain any value and returns this number as the result. Cells that contain, text, numbers, errors, etc. are not counted. Cells that contain formulas that return empty text ("") are considered blank and will be counted. Cells that contain zero are considered not blank and will not be counted. www.prolearninghub.com

Excel COUNTIF Function

Excel COUNTIF Function Purpose  Count cells that match criteria Return value  A number representing cells counted. Syntax  =COUNTIF (range, criteria) Arguments  range - The range of cells to count. criteria - The criteria that controls which cells should be counted. Usage notes  The COUNTIF function in Excel counts the number of cells in a range that match the supplied criteria www.prolearninghub.com

Excel COUNTIF Function Non-numeric criteria needs to be enclosed in double quotes but numeric criteria does not: =COUNTIF(A1:A10,100) // count cells equal to 100 =COUNTIF(A1:A10,">32") // count cells greater than 32 =COUNTIF(A1:A10,"jim") // count cells equal to "jim" =COUNTIF(A1:A10,"<"&B1) // count cells less than value in B1 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. ~?, ~*). See links on this page to more examples with detailed explanations. www.prolearninghub.com

Excel COUNTIFS Function Usage notes  COUNTIFS counts the number of cells in a range that match supplied criteria. Unlike the COUNTIF function, COUNTIFS can apply more than one set of criteria, with more than one range. Ranges and criteria are applied in pairs, and only the first pair is required. For each additional criteria, you must supply another range/criteria pairs. Up to 127 range/criteria pairs are allowed. www.prolearninghub.com

Excel COUNTIFS Function Notes: Each additional range must have the same number of rows and columns as range 1, but ranges do not need to be adjacent. If you supply ranges with a mismatch, you'll get a #VALUE error. 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. ~?, ~*). www.prolearninghub.com

Excel FREQUENCY Function

Excel FREQUENCY Function Purpose  Get the frequency of values in a data set Return value  A vertical array of frequencies Syntax  =FREQUENCY (data_array, bins_array) Arguments  data_array - An array of values for which you want to get frequencies. bins_array - An array of intervals ("bins") for grouping values. www.prolearninghub.com

Excel FREQUENCY Function Usage notes  You can use Excel's FREQUENCY function to create a frequency distribution - a summary table that shows the frequency (count) of each value in a range.  FREQUENCY counts how often values occur in a set of data. It returns a vertical array of numbers that represent frequencies. Notes: Because FREQUENCY always returns an array, it needs to be entered as an array formula or with other functions that handle the array. FREQUENCY always returns an array with one more item than the bins_array. This is by design, to catch any values greater than the largest interval in the bins_array. www.prolearninghub.com

Excel FREQUENCY Function To create a frequency distribution using FREQUENCY: Enter numbers that represent the bins you want to group values into Make a selection the same size as the range that contains bins, or one greater if want to include the extra item Enter the FREQUENCY function as an array formula using Control+Shift+Enter www.prolearninghub.com

Arguments  number1 - First number or reference in the sample. number2 - [optional] Second number or reference. Usage notes  The STDEV function calculates the standard deviation in a sample set of data. www.prolearninghub.com

Excel STDEV Function Notes: Note: STDEV has been replaced with a newer function called STDEV.S, which has identical behavior. Although STDEV still exists for backwards compatibility, Microsoft recommends that people use the newer STDEV.S function instead. Notes: STDEV calculates standard deviation using the "n-1" method. STDEV assumes your data is a sample only. When your data is complete (i.e. when your data representations the entire population), calculate standard deviation using the STDEVP function (or it's more current replacement, the STDEV.P function). www.prolearninghub.com

Excel STDEV Function Numbers are supplied as arguments. They can be supplied as actual numbers, ranges, arrays, or references that contain numbers. The STDEV function will include numbers entered as text and logical values when they are entered directly as arguments. However, when an argument is an array or reference, empty cells, logical values, text, and error values are ignored. When you want to include logical values and/or numbers as text in a reference, use the STDEVA function. www.prolearninghub.com

Excel STDEV Function www.prolearninghub.com

Excel STDEV.P Function

Excel STDEV.P Function Purpose Return value Syntax Arguments Get standard deviation of population Return value  Estimated standard deviation Syntax  =STDEV.P (number1, [number2], ...) Arguments  number1 - First number or reference in the sample. number2 - [optional] Second number or reference. Usage notes  The STDEV.P function calculates the standard deviation in a sample set of data. www.prolearninghub.com

Excel STDEV.P Function Standard deviation is a measure of how much variance there is in a set of numbers compared to the average (mean) of the numbers. Note: STDEV.P replaces the STDEVP function, with identical behavior. Although STDEVP still exists for backwards compatibility, Microsoft recommends that people use the newer STDEV.P function instead. Notes: STDEV.P calculates standard deviation using the "n" method, ignoring logical values and text. STDEV.P assumes your data is the entire population. When your data is a sample set only, calculate standard deviation using the STDEV.S function. Numbers are supplied as arguments. They can be supplied as actual numbers, ranges, arrays, or references that contain numbers. The STDEV.P function ignores logical values and text. If  you want to include logical values and/or numbers as text in a reference, use the STDEVA function. www.prolearninghub.com
