Measures of Central Tendency - Mean, Median, and Mode of values with specific text in the next column

Our take

When analyzing data, measures of central tendency—mean, median, and mode—offer valuable insights. If you're looking to calculate these metrics based on specific criteria, such as "Witch" or "Normal," Excel provides powerful functions to assist you. While you've successfully found the mean using AVERAGEIF, calculating the median and mode requires alternative approaches. Unfortunately, Excel lacks MEDIANIF and MODEIF functions, but you can achieve your goals with a combination of array formulas or other functions. Let’s explore how to streamline your analysis further.

Hello, I have been trying to find a formula or function where values will be picked and converted through measures of central tendency (Mean, Median, Mode) if the next column of the same row matches a specific keyword, i.e. "Yes", "No". In my case, I am using the types "Witch" and "Normal". I have provided a small example of what I'm supposed to find. The data provided represent a few skins from a small game I like that I am trying to analyze.

I am still new to Excel 2019, and I am using a laptop to do my work. My tries for Mean, (I did random stuff and hoping it would work)=ROUND(AVERAGEIF(J3:J73,COUNTIF(K3:K73, "Witch"),0)) return an equation error and =DAVERAGE(J3:J73,"Cost","Witch") (this feels like it is not appropriate to the situation) return to an error of value.
I will probably use this formula/function (if provided), on more tasks that include "types".

Edit: I found an answer for the Mean by myself. I'm still finding a solution for Median and Mode, unfortunately.
=ROUND(AVERAGEIF(range of type,"=type",range of data),0)
I'm now only wondering for the Median and the Mode, which do not have a MEDIANIF or a MODEIF in the function list.
Edit 2: I accidentally mislabeled Excel 2019 as Excel 2013, sorry about that.
