So I am able to average column E either using the negative or positive values with the 2 separate formulas I have in cell G2 and G4. Formula working as intended
BUT
when I want to average up only cells in column E that is less than 15, the formula calculates up the total column instead.
For this particular criteria, i am trying to achieve averaging cells that is "less than 15" from column E, which includes BOTH negative and positive numbers. For my particular sample, this would EXCLUDE E2 (since 57.08 is greater than 15) but INCLUDES E7 (12.67 less than 15) AND the other cells with the negative value since they are also technically less than 15. The end result SHOULD be 12.99 but instead its showing 2.98 averaging up the whole column instead.

Can someone please advise me on what I am missing or doing wrong about the formula in G7 that is averaging up the whole column instead of what I am trying to achieve? Thank you in advance
 

Excel Facts

What do {} around a formula in the formula bar mean?
{Formula} means the formula was entered using Ctrl+Shift+Enter signifying an old-style array formula.
Hi, numbers formatted as percentages are actually 1/100th of the value you see in the cell.

So either:
Rich (BB code):
=AVERAGE(FILTER(E2:E8,(E2:E8<=15%)*SUBTOTAL(2,OFFSET(E1,SEQUENCE(ROWS(E2:E8)),0))))

Or
Rich (BB code):
=AVERAGE(FILTER(E2:E8,(E2:E8<=0.15)*SUBTOTAL(2,OFFSET(E1,SEQUENCE(ROWS(E2:E8)),0))))

You need to use 0.15 as you are dealing with percentages

Haha yes of course it does and I deal with % everyday day. that did not cross my mind at all when trying to figure this out. Feeling brain dead in this moment

Thank you kindly sir
