No need for the FALSE part in the formula, regardless this will return a div
error if there are no yellow in F1:F20
so make sure you don't have extra spaces etc in F1:F20 where it looks like
you have yellow

Hi,

Try this

=AVERAGE(IF(F1:F20="Yellow",G1:G20,FALSE))

This is an ARRAY formula so commit the formula by pressing
Ctrl+Shift+Enter
NOT just Enter. If you do it correctly Excel will put curly brackets
around
it {}. You can't type these yourself.
