Here’s the secret: the formula is AVERAGE. That’s it! No funny symbols or complicated Greek letters—just a plain English word that does exactly what it says on the tin.

Type =AVERAGE( into a cell, then click and drag over the numbers you want to include. Close the parenthesis with ) and hit enter. Boom! The average appears like magic.

For example, if your numbers live in cells A1 through A10, you’d type: =AVERAGE(A1:A10). That colon (:) is Excel’s way of saying “give me everything from here to there.”
