AGGREGATE

The AGGREGATE function performs calculations on ranges of data using pre-defined functions. It allows you to ignore hidden rows or error values within the range.

Syntax 🔗

=AGGREGATE(function_num, options, ref1, [ref2], ...)

function_num The numerical code representing the aggregate function to be used. It determines the specific calculation to be performed.
options A numerical value that specifies additional settings for the calculation, such as ignoring error values or hidden rows.
ref1 The first reference to the range of data to be included in the calculation.
ref2 (Optional) Additional references to ranges of data, allowing for multiple input ranges to be considered in the calculation.
... Additional references to ranges of data, allowing for multiple input ranges to be considered in the calculation.
