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.
