Average cells in column B that have value "Test" in column A

**gammaman** · 10-17-2012, 01:27 PM

I am looking to take an Average of all the cells in column B that have "Test" as a value for column A.

Something like if(A:A = "Test",Average(B:B))

Maybe an array formula.

Enter your formula like this then enter Ctrl + Shift + Enter at the same time

=AVERAGE(IF($A:$A="Test",$B:$B))

Yes. Thank You.

Try using the non-array AVERAGEIFS() function:

=AVERAGEIFS(B:B,A:A,"Test")

or AVERAGEIF() function:

=AVERAGEIF(A:A,"Test",B:B)

Yes,

=AVERAGEIF(A:A,"Test",B:B)

also works great.
