To calculate the moving average of a series of values using the AVERAGEIF function in Google Sheets, you can follow these steps:
Open Google Sheets and create a new spreadsheet.
Enter your series of values in a column.
In an empty cell, enter the formula:
=AVERAGEIF(range, criteria, average_range)
the 'range' refers to the range of cells you want to evaluate, the 'criteria' is the condition used to determine which cells to average, and the 'average_range' specifies the actual cells to average.
Replace 'range' with the range of cells containing the values you want to average.
Replace 'criteria' with the condition or criteria you want to use for averaging the values in the range.
Replace 'average_range' with the range of cells containing the values you want to average.
For example, let's say you have your series of values in cells A1 to A10. In cell B1, you can enter the formula:
=AVERAGEIF(A1:A10, "<>"&"", A1:A10)
This formula calculates the average of the non-blank values in the range A1 to A10.
Note: To calculate a moving average, you will need to adjust the range and average_range values as you move down the column, taking into account the desired number of values to include in each average.
