AverageIF Issue

I have this averageif formula, =AVERAGE(AVERAGEIF(F4:F9,{"TRS","TRP","TRX"},G4:G9))

This works well when I have all of the criteria in the dataset, but if the dataset only has "TRS", the averageif returns and error because I think it's trying to locate all of the words inside the formula.

How do I not get the error if the dataset only has, let's say "TRS"?
 

Excel Facts

Copy PDF to Excel
Select data in PDF. Paste to Microsoft Word. Copy from Word and paste to Excel.
Try putting an IFERROR in there, like this: =AVERAGE(IFERROR(AVERAGEIF(F4:F9,{"TRS","TRP","TRX"},G4:G9),FALSE))
Will have to use CONTROL+SHIFT+ENTER rather than just enter, as this is an array formula.

=AVERAGE(AVERAGEIF(F4:F9,{"TRS","TRP","TRX"},G4:G9))

Is it possible that TRS can appear twice but TRX and TRP only once for example? In that case you wouldn't get a true average of all 4 of those rows because you would be averaging an average.

This array formula will fix your problem and also that issue

=AVERAGE(IF(F4:F9={"TRS","TRP","TRX"},G4:G9))

confirm with CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER

For a non array version try this

=SUM(SUMIF(F4:F9,{"TRS","TRP","TRX"},G4:G9))/SUM(COUNTIF(F4:F9,{"TRS","TRP","TRX"}))
