Default sum cells with numbers

Hi

Assuming you just want the sum of the numbers if there are no blanks in
the range, then one way would be
=SUM(A1:A5)/MAX(1,COUNTIF(A1:A5,""))

This shouldn't be too diffacult but I can't seem to find the function
that
would allow me to sum the cells with numbers and then divide that by
the
number of blank cells.
e.g. cells A1:A5, if A1 is 5, A2 is 10 and cells A3 through A5 are
blank
then the answer would be 5. 5+10/3=5
I tried isnumber and isblank but that doesn't work. Any ideas?
