Remarks

* The arithmetic mean is the most common measure of central tendency.
* This function includes hidden rows.

* Arguments that are zero are included.
* Arguments that are dates are included.
* Arguments that are logical values are excluded from the denominator.
* Arguments that are text are excluded from the denominator.
* If any cell references are empty, then these are excluded.
