To find the mean salary for women in the finance department, you would use the AVERAGEIFS function in Excel. This function allows you to calculate the average of a range based on multiple criteria. In your case, you can set criteria for both the gender (women) and the department (finance).

Here’s a basic formula structure for your scenario:

=AVERAGEIFS(salary_range, gender_range, "Female", department_range, "Finance")
  • salary_range: The range of salaries you want to average.
  • gender_range: The range containing gender information.
  • "Female": The criterion for the gender.
  • department_range: The range containing department information.
  • "Finance": The criterion for the department.

So, AVERAGEIFS is the correct choice for your requirement.
