Excel is a perfect tool for all mathematical operations and visual presentation of data. It can be used to combine the two, as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the example below, we will show how can you use Excel to calculate the average percentage of marks<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Calculate the Average Percentage of Marks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For our example, we will suppose that we had four groups of students<\/strong>, each group containing 15 students<\/strong>, and their marks from the exam<\/strong>, ranging from 1% to 100%<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Table\n\nDescription<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We now need to calculate the average of our percentages for every group, and we will do so by inserting the AVERAGE formula<\/strong> at the bottom of our table:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Table\n\nDescription<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Now we need to calculate the averages of our four groups<\/strong>. We need to consider that every group has a different number of students (for example, we have 15 students in group A, but only 11 students in group C).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To encapsulate this, we need to use the COUNT formula<\/strong>. We will place it beneath the averages:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Table\n\nDescription<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

To calculate the average percentage of all marks, we will use the SUMPRODUCT formula<\/strong>, including averages and counts of records<\/strong>. Our formula will be as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

=SUMPRODUCT(B17:E17,B18:E18)\/SUM(B18:E18)<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n

This is what the formula looks like in the sheet:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Graphical<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

And our result will be 49.40%<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To verify this result we calculate results for every group (multiplying AVERAGE and COUNTA for every group)<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Chart,<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Then we sum all these numbers and divide them by the sum of the total students<\/strong>. We will get the same number:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
