Default AVERAGE function

Blanks are already ignored.

=AVERAGE(IF(ISNUMBER(A1:A100),A1:a100))

which is an array formula, it should be committed with Ctrl-Shift-Enter, not
just Enter.

Can anyone tell me whether there is a way to average a whole column of
numbers but ignoring blank cells or cells with errors in

e.g.

Column A

1
2
4
5
3
5
4
DIV0!
DIV0!
3
4
blank
2

Many thanks
