Remarks

* The arithmetic mean is the most common measure of central tendency.
* This function includes hidden cells.
* Arguments that are numbers are included.
* 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.
* If any cell references contain an error, then that error is returned (Row 15).
* You can have a maximum of 255 arguments.
* You can use the AVERAGEA function to include logical values and text in the denominator.
* You can use the AVERAGEIFS function to satisfy multiple conditions.
* You can use the AVERAGEVISIBLE - User Defined Function to exclude hidden cells.
* You can use the AGGREGATE function to exclude hidden cells.
* This is similar to the COUNT function.
