It sounds to me as if some of your data may actually be text. If you use
SUM(your range) do you really get 74?

Hi all:

I have a column of 25 numbers that include zeros that total 74. I have
applied the average function and rounded the result to two decimal places.

ROUND(AVERAGE (number 1,number 2...),2).

The result that I am receiving from excel is 2.64. When I use a
calculator
the result is 2.96. What am I doing wrong?
