Number1,number2,...  are 1 to 30 arguments for which you want to calculate the mean.

Remarks

  • The arguments must be either numbers or column references that contain numbers.
  • If a column reference argument contains text, logical values, or is empty , those values are ignored; however, arguments with the value zero are included.
  • If any data point ≤ 0, GEOMEAN returns the #NUM! error value.
  • The equation for the geometric mean is:
