    AverageIf function

    I'm trying to use the average if function to average a range of numbers, only if a different range of numbers numbers equal a number in two different cells.

    ex. average A1:F1 if G1:L1 equals M1 or M2

    Try

    =AVERAGE(IF((G1:L1="M1")+(G1:L1="M2"),A1:F1))

    confirmed with CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER not just ENTER
    Where there is a will there are many ways.

    or
    =SUMPRODUCT(($G$1:$L$1=$M$1)+($G$1:$L$1=$M$2),($A$1:$F$1))/SUMPRODUCT(($G$1:$L$1=$M$1)+($G$1:$L$1=$M$2))
    normally entered
