Excel 2016 from Scratch Exercise

DAVERAGE and DSUM Calculation

An Excel tutorial by Peter Kalmstrom

Excel 2016 iconThe Excel function DAVERAGE calculates the average of the numbers in a column based on a given criteria, and in the same way the DSUM function gives the sum of the numbers in a column that meet a given criteria.

This demo in the Excel 2016 from Scratch series shows both calculation and visualization. Peter Kalmstrom explains how to calculate the average and sum of certain parameters, and then he presents the data in a pivot table and a pivot graph.
