Feeling bold? Try AVERAGEA, which counts text as zero and TRUE/FALSE as numbers. This is useful if your data is weird, like a survey where people answered “Yes” or “No.” AVERAGEA turns “Yes” into 1 and “No” into 0. Magic, right?
Or try AVERAGEIF for when you only want to average numbers that meet a condition. Like, “Average all sales over $100.” Type =AVERAGEIF(range, “>100”). It’s like having a bouncer at a club who only lets the cool numbers in.
Just don’t get too carried away. I once spent an hour perfecting an AVERAGEIFS formula with five conditions. My reward? I felt like a hacker in a movie. Totally worth it.
