Geomean function

Returns the geometric mean of positive data. For example, you can use GEOMEAN to calculate average growth rate given compound interest with variable rates.

Syntax

GEOMEAN(number1,number2,...)

Number1,number2,...     are 1 to 30 arguments for which you want to calculate the mean.

Remarks

  • The arguments must be either numbers or column references that contain numbers.

  • If a column reference argument contains text, logical values, or is empty , those values are ignored; however, arguments with the value zero are included.

  • If any data point ≤ 0, GEOMEAN returns the #NUM! error value.

  • The equation for the geometric mean is:
