Average function

Returns the average (arithmetic mean) of the arguments.

Syntax

AVERAGE(number1,number2, ...)

Number1, number2, ...     are 1 to 30 numeric arguments for which you want the average.

Remarks

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

• If an array or column reference argument contains text, logical values, or is empty, those values are either ignored or return the #VALUE! error value; however, arguments with the value zero are included.
