  • If an argument is an array or reference, only values in that array or reference are used. Empty cells and text values in the array or reference are ignored.

  • If you do not want to include logical values and text representations of numbers in a reference as part of the calculation, use the AVERAGE function.

  • Arguments that are error values or text that cannot be translated into numbers cause errors.
