Excelchat Expert 17/09/2018 - 02:53
So I have a few quick questions before I start
Excelchat Expert 17/09/2018 - 02:53
You want the results as True and False right?
User 17/09/2018 - 02:53
yes
Excelchat Expert 17/09/2018 - 02:54
based on average of C, E and G column
User 17/09/2018 - 02:54
yes
Excelchat Expert 17/09/2018 - 02:54
if average is greater or equal to 5000 then true otherwise false
User 17/09/2018 - 02:54
yes that
Excelchat Expert 17/09/2018 - 02:54
ok
Excelchat Expert 17/09/2018 - 02:55
Thanks for explanation, let me have a look
Excelchat Expert 17/09/2018 - 02:57
One more thing, what is the difference between J and K
Excelchat Expert 17/09/2018 - 02:57
In J you will get the result as true and false
Excelchat Expert 17/09/2018 - 02:57
based on C, E and G columns but what is in K column?
User 17/09/2018 - 02:57
J I was trying to get result if 3 cell meets 5000
User 17/09/2018 - 02:58
K was trying to average it
Excelchat Expert 17/09/2018 - 02:58
meets means? the sum?
User 17/09/2018 - 02:58
mean each cell criteria is 5000
Excelchat Expert 17/09/2018 - 02:59
that means if C or E or G any of the cell have a value which is greater or equal to 5000 it should say true?
User 17/09/2018 - 02:59
corretc
User 17/09/2018 - 02:59

Excelchat Expert 17/09/2018 - 02:59

Excelchat Expert 17/09/2018 - 02:59
You can see Col K for now for average values, I am creating fro col J
Excelchat Expert 17/09/2018 - 03:00
Col J - =IF(OR(C2>=5000,E2>=5000,G2>=5000),TRUE,FALSE)
Excelchat Expert 17/09/2018 - 03:00
Col K- =IFERROR(IF(AVERAGE(C2,E2,G2)>=5000,TRUE,FALSE),False)
Excelchat Expert 17/09/2018 - 03:01
You can see at the right side of the screen as well.
Excelchat Expert 17/09/2018 - 03:01

Excelchat Expert 17/09/2018 - 03:08
So, if you want to use average formula excel should read the value from the cell
