    The document discusses the basic Excel average formula which uses the = sign followed by the sum of the values divided by the number of values. It provides the example of averaging the values in cells A1 through A3 using the formula =(A1+A2+A3)/3. Functions like SUM can also be used to simplify averaging a range like =SUM(A1:A3)/3. The example shown calculates the average of the values 5, 10, and 15 as =(5+10+15)/3=10 in cell A1.

    BASIC FORMULA AVERAGE

    Excel Average Formula Using The + and / Operators


    The simplest Excel Average Formula for a set of values
    consists of the = sign, followed a the sum of the values,
    all divided by the number of values in the group.
    In Excel, a formula is an expression that operates on
    values in a range of cells or a cell. For example,
    =A1+A2+A3, which finds the sum of the range of values
    from cell A1 to Cell A3.
    Functions are predefined formulas in Excel. They
    eliminate laborious manual entry of formulas while giving
    them human-friendly names. For example: =SUM(A1:A3).
    The function sums all the values from A1 to A3.

    A simple Excel average formula, that calculates the


    average of the three values 5, 10 and 15, is shown in cell
    A1 of the spreadsheet on the top
    Note that the expression 5 + 10 + 15 is encased in
    brackets. This is necessary to ensure that
    the sum of the three values (not just the last value)
    is divided by the value 3.
