To calculate an average based on a condition in Excel, use the `AVERAGEIF` function. The formula: `=AVERAGEIF(range, criteria, [average_range])`. For example, `=AVERAGEIF(A1:A10, ">5", B1:B10)` calculates the average of cells in `B1:B10` where the corresponding cell in `A1:A10` is greater than 5. Replace `range`, `criteria`, and `[average_range]` with your specific cell references and conditions.
