Google Sheets AVERAGEIF function
Averages only the rows that meet a condition. In Spanish Sheets it is called PROMEDIO.SI.
Syntax
English Sheets
=AVERAGEIF(criteria_range, criterion, [average_range])
Spanish Sheets (Mexico locale)
=PROMEDIO.SI(intervalo_criterio, criterio, [intervalo_promedio])
Spanish Sheets (Spain, Latin America)
=PROMEDIO.SI(intervalo_criterio; criterio; [intervalo_promedio])
| Argument | What it is |
|---|---|
| criteria_range | Where the condition is checked. |
| criterion | The condition. |
| average_rangeoptional | What gets averaged; if omitted, the same range. |
Example
AVERAGEIF works like SUMIF but averages instead of adding: AVERAGEIF(criteria_range, criterion, average_range).
=AVERAGEIF(B2:B11,"Monterrey",D2:D11)
Common mistake
If no row meets the condition it returns #DIV/0!. Wrap it in IFERROR when that can happen.
