  • =AblebitsAvgAByFontColor(C3:I9,N22,FALSE) Calculates the average (arithmetic mean) of numbers in a range of cells C3:I9 that have the same font color as the N22 cell. Blank cells are included.
  • =AblebitsAvgAByFontColor(C3:I9,255) Calculates the average (arithmetic mean) of numbers in a range of cells C3:I9 that have the font color of 255 color code. Blank cells are not included into the calculation.
  • =AblebitsAvgAByFontColor(C3:I9,255,FALSE) Calculates the average (arithmetic mean) of numbers in a range of cells C3:I9 that have the font color of 255 color code. Blank cells are included.

  • range
    Required. The range of cells where you want to find the average value, e.g. B2:B8.
  • color
    Required. The font color of cells to calculate the average value. Can be a reference to one cell like B6 or color code like 255.

  • skip_empty_cells
    Optional: TRUE or FALSE. If you do not add this argument, the result will equal to TRUE and will not include empty cells into the calculation. However, if you add the FALSE argument, empty cells will be included.
