Default return a zero for error

Hi Jim,
It already is a CSE type I think in that I had to hit Ctrl+Shift+Enter
and it is in "curly brackets".

What if you converted your formula to a CSE type?
Select the cell, F2 (edit) on it, then press Control key + Shift key +

Enter
key simultaneously to re-enter.

I'm having a problem with a spreadsheet I'm developing which records
average
marks of groups of students over several weeks. I want to display a
"Running Average" of those averages as I enter the data, however,

because
I
do this week by week there are inevitably weeks which have not had any
data
entered and her I see the error #DIV/0! for the formula
=AVERAGE(IF(R5:R20<0, R5:R20,"")). I do understand why I'm getting

this
(because I'm dividing by zero) but would like to return a zero so that

the
average of the averages will return a number rather than an error.
Can anybody help me?
