GEOMEAN
Returns the geometric mean of the arguments.
Syntax:
GEOMEAN(number1; number2; ... number30)
- number1 to number30 are up to 30 numbers or ranges containing numbers. Numbers must not be zero.
- The geometric mean of a1, a2, ... an is defined as (a1 . a2. ... . an)1/n.
Example:
GEOMEAN(1; 2; 4)
- returns 2, calculated as (1 * 2 * 4)1/3.
Issues:
- Calc assumes that logical values are 1 (TRUE) and 0 (FALSE). Excel ignores logical values.
