Using the Min, Max, Count and Average Functions in Excel

by rhyttinen on July 31, 2009

In yesterday’s post, we saw how to enter the SUM function using the AutoSum button. But there are also several other functions available using the AutoSum feature. These are:

  • SUM Totals the values in a selected range
  • AVERAGE Computes the average of the values in a selected range
  • MIN Returns the lowest value in a selected range
  • MAX Returns the highest value in a selected range
  • COUNT NUMBERS Totals the number of cells with values in a selected range

Aggregate Functions under the AutoSum Button

To Enter Additional Functions using AutoSum

  1. Select the cell or range of cells where you want the formula to be inserted.
  2. Click the arrow to the right of the AutoSum button on the Ribbon.
  3. Chose the desired function.
  4. If the cell range that Excel chooses is not the desired range, drag over the range to be included in the formula.
  5. Press the Enter key to verify the formula.
