The GEOMEAN function in Excel calculates the geometric mean of a set of numbers. The geometric mean is a type of average that is used when you want to calculate the average growth rate of a set of numbers. To use the GEOMEAN function, enter the numbers that you want to calculate the average for in a range of cells, and then enter the function =GEOMEAN( in the cell where you want the result to appear. Excel will calculate the geometric mean of the numbers in the range and display the result.
The syntax for GEOMEAN in Excel is =GEOMEAN(x,y,...) where "x" and "y" are the arrays of numbers you want to calculate the GEOMEAN for. The "..." indicates that you can include any number of arrays of numbers in the calculation.
The GEOMEAN function in Excel calculates the geometric mean of a set of numbers. The geometric mean is a type of average that is used when calculating the average growth rate of a series of numbers. To use the GEOMEAN function in Excel, enter the numbers that you want to calculate the geometric mean for in a column, and then enter the GEOMEAN function in the cell where you want the result displayed. Excel will calculate the geometric mean of the numbers in the column and display the result.
There are a few instances in which GEOMEAN should not be used in Excel. When calculating the GEOMEAN of a list of numbers, if any of the numbers in the list are zero, GEOMEAN will return a zero value. Additionally, GEOMEAN cannot be used if the list of numbers includes text values, logical values, or empty cells.
The GEOMEAN function in Excel calculates the geometric mean of a series of numbers. This function is similar to the AVERAGE function, which calculates the arithmetic mean of a series of numbers. The GEOMEAN function can be used to calculate the mean of a series of positive or negative numbers.
