Try one of these array formulas** :

=AVERAGE(IF(MONTH(A3:A9)=MONTH(A1),B3:B9))

Based on your data the result is 150%. It's including the empty cell that
corresponds to 2/1/2009 and evaluating it as 0. If you want to exclude the
empty cell:

=AVERAGE(IF((MONTH(A3:A9)=MONTH(A1))*(B3:B9<""),B 3:B9))

This one returns 180%

Format as Percentage

** array formulas need to be entered using the key combination of
CTRL,SHIFT,ENTER (not just ENTER). Hold down both the CTRL key and the SHIFT
key then hit ENTER.
