Looks like you are free to drag, per Help on AVERGE.

a.. If an array or reference argument contains text, logical values, or
empty cells, those values are ignored; however, cells with the value zero
are included.

I'm averaging cells that aren't next to each other, but i don't want the
average to include cells that aren't populated.

=AVERAGE(F4:F6,F10,F14,F18,F21)
f
F4- 5
F6- 5
F10-
F 14- 5

AVERAGE = 3.75

for example, its possible that, let say, F10 has no quantitiy, i don't
want
that to drag my average down. I want the results in the example above to
average = 5
