AVERAGEIF formula with 2 sets of criteria

Cindi Meche

Hi! I was able to use the following formula to pull data based on 1 set of criteria.

=AVERAGEIF({Range 1}, MONTH(@cell) = 7, {Range 2})

So, if range 1 includes data for the month of July, return the average of that data set in range 2.

However, now I want to further segment by type of data. But my formula is not working. What should I change?

=AVERAGEIF({Range 1}, MONTH(@cell) = 7, {Range 3}, "Google", {Range 2})

I'm trying to get the average of data that is in the month of July AND is identified as Google in range 3, then return the average of that data set in range 2.

Can anyone please help me figure out what I have wrong?

Thanks!

Cindi

No, you just have the range you want to sum placed at the wrong end of the formula:

SUMIFS(range to sum, criterion_range1, criterion1, criterion_range2, ​criterion2​)

AND is kind of built into SUMIFS and COUNTIFS. by default, all conditions must be met for it to add or count.

If {Range 2} contains the values to add up:

=SUMIFS({range 2}, {Range 1}, MONTH(@cell) = 7, {Range 3}, "Google")

@Cindi Meche

AVERAGEIF only works with one range. Unfortunately, we don't have an AVERAGEIFS yet.

What you have to do is use a SUMIFS on the two ranges to add up all the values, and then divide that by a COUNTIFS on the same ranges.

Thank you Jeff. It still returns "Invalid Operation." Do I need to make an "and" in there somewhere?

=SUMIFS({Range 1}, MONTH(@cell) = 7, AND {Range 3}, "Google", {Range 2})

Got it! Thanks so much for the explanation, Jeff.
