You could do it manually, too--well, if those cells that will contain the
averages are empty.

Select the range to inspect
Edit|goto|Special|blanks
Notice that only the cells getting the =average() formula are selected.
type this:
=average(
hit the uparrow, then the comma, then the down arrow.
Then hit the close parent )

Now hit ctrl-enter to fill the selection with that formula. Excel will adjust
the formula for each of the cells.

In code, it would look like:

Option Explicit
Sub testme()

Dim myRng As Range
Dim myBlanks As Range

With ActiveSheet
Set myRng = .Range("a1:h20") 'whatever???
Set myBlanks = Nothing
On Error Resume Next
Set myBlanks = myRng.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeBlanks)
On Error GoTo 0

If myBlanks Is Nothing Then
MsgBox "no blanks!"
Else
myBlanks.FormulaR1C1 = "=AVERAGE(R[-1]C,R[1]C)"
End If
End With

End Sub
