Default why can't I average 36 values?

Note that the average of the averages of unequal ranges may not be the same
as the average of the whole range.
e.g avgerage of 100 = 100, average of 1,1,1 = 1
average of averages is about 50, average of the four values is about 25.

What formula are you using?

I'm not aware of such a limit, however, if there were such a limit, the
solution would be to split the range of cells to be averaged into to
ranges,
average each of those ranges, and then average the two averages.

getting an error. Is there a limit on how many cells can be used in a

get
around this issue?
