We are taught how to sort, and how to filter, but not how to filter and then perform a function?

How do I answer this question without just manually adding them all together? The video does not talk about how to filter, sort, and then do a function.

Hey Sean White 👋

You can perform this in the same way as shown in the videos 🙂 But break it down in those two steps, first filter your data to only show the required categories. From there you can use the average function on the cells that remain.

Alternatively you could select all prices and use the snapshot in the bottom right that was shown in an earlier video

Hope this answers your question 😃
