# Syntax
harmonicMean(numbersList)
# Params
- numbersList : A comma-separated list of numbers, or an expression that evaluates to such a list, or an array containing only numbers.
# Examples
harmonicMean(4,36,45,50,75) -- returns 15
put harmonicMean(importedList) into field "Harmonic Mean"
# Description
Use the harmonicMean function to find the value that best represents a group of values for sets of numbers which are defined in relation to some unit.
The harmonicMean function was added in version 6.1 to complement the average function.
If the numbersList is empty, the harmonicMean function returns zero.
If a math operation on finite inputs produces a non-finite output, an execution error is thrown. See math operations for more information.
