AverageA is a mathematical function that returns the average of a group of numeric values, rows, columns, or cells. AverageA includes #missing and #error cells, which are treated as zero values when obtaining the average.

Note:

#missing and #error are included only for rows or columns that are not suppressed.

The function syntax is:

  
  AverageA(arguments) or AvgA(arguments)
