The AVERAGE function in Excel is used to calculate the average of a set of numbers. It is a useful tool for finding the average of multiple values, especially when dealing with large amounts of data.

To use the AVERAGE function, first select the cell where you want the result to appear. Then type =AVERAGE( and select the range of cells containing the values you want to average. For example, if you want to find the average of cells A1 through A10, you would enter =AVERAGE(A1:A10).

After you have selected the range, close the parenthesis and press Enter. The result will be displayed in the selected cell.

It is important to note that the AVERAGE function in Excel only works with numerical values. If you try to use it on a range of cells that contain non-numerical values, it will return an error.
