Default Averages formula/0

The only thing that I can see that might be causing this is if your values
are actually smaller than you think they are and you have the format set in
a certain way. See this screencap:

The result in B8 is based on your posted example. The numbers in column C
are formatted as GENERAL.

I don't get an error but the formula results with 0% and there are % values
entered in the column.

Try this:

Entered as an array using the key combination of CTRL,SHIFT,ENTER (not
just
ENTER):

=AVERAGE(IF(ISNUMBER(B2:B6),B2:B6))

Format as %

You'd be better off fixing the errors so that those formulas return a
blank
("") rather than the #DIV/0! error. Then a simple =AVERAGE(B2:B6) will
work.

I have an entire column with #DIV/0! because it is awaiting data from
adjacent cells. The sum of the formulas result in a %.
Example:
B2 10%
B3 15%
B4 #DIV/0!
B5 #DIV/0!
B6 25%

QUESTION: How can I get the % average of B2:B6?
