Average collect w/ 3 criteria

Options

I'm attempting to average the %age passed for a specific month and year for a specific team.

I successfully used the below to average the total by month and year, but can't figure out how to add the team.

=AVG(COLLECT([%Passed]:[%Passed], [Month 2]:[Month 2], =1, Year:Year, =2024)

I tried the below, but am getting a #UNPARSEABLE error

=AVG(COLLECT([%Passed]:[%Passed], [Month 2]:[Month 2], =1, Year:Year, =2024, Team:Team, =Workforce Admin))


Thanks in advance!

    @MichaelTCA Thanks for the suggestion...I figured it out! I needed to put the team name in quotes

    "Workforce Admin"

    =AVG(COLLECT([%Passed]:[%Passed], [Month 2]:[Month 2], =1, Year:Year, =2024, Team:Team, ="Workforce Admin"))

    Thanks again!

    Hello @AGorgei,

    One possibility is how the last "criterion" was spelled. I'm not sure if you copy and pasted the function into this thread, but you could try entering [Workforce Admin]@row into the end of the function.

    When you type a value you like =1 or =2024, the function is looking at the cell value within that column. It has a specific reference. Unless you specify who in the team to average information for, you will have to use the @row option.

    Can you combine the average of 2 workgroup, such as when you have 9 work groups and 3 regions? The data is coming in my workgroups and I need to average the data by region.

    Thank you for any recommendations,

    Lori
