Excel averageifs with or function

Question

I am using the averageifs function, and have one column where I need to calculate the average if either of the criteria are true.

I have tried using the OR function,

Answer 1

Do not think Excel has this feature, but in Google Sheets, I've been using the below to achieve similar results

=average(filter($A:$A,($C:$C=$E$6)+($C:$C=$E$7)))

giving me an average of the values in A:A where C:C matches the value in either E6 or E7

unlike an ifs / sumifs etc., the filter uses =, not a comma, thus $C:$C=$E$6 is used, not $C:$C,$E$6

Mathematical symbols are just entered ( so <> rather than "<>"& )
