Default Average formula

Hi,

I have a formula that works out the average of four miles per gallon
figures. =AVERAGE(G2,J2,M2,P2)

Basically I am going to automate the values in those cells with a forumla
also. My problem is that sometimes the formula will be returned as a #DIV/0
which in turn makes the average #DIV/0. The formula in cells G2 etc will
calculate the Miles Per Gallon that an employee has claimed their private
miles at so if these cells represent each week of the month there will be 0's
sometimes if they have not travelled any private miles within that week hence
why there may be #DIV/0 in the miles per gallon figures.

I need the formula to do an average of those four cells using the value only
if it isn't #DIV/0. Is this possible?

The formula that will be in G2 etc will be =(F2*((T2/S2)*4.54))/H2

Translated this is

=(private miles*((cost of fuel used/litres of fuel used)*4.54))/amount paid
for private miles

Which then gives the miles per gallon that they have calculated their
private fuel costs at.

Thanks in advance for any help.
