Default Conditional Formulas--Suppressing error values?

I've constructed a conditional formula to do one of two alternative
calculations, within a row, in the following standard form: "if A, then B,
else C." Here is my formula, if you're curious:



=IF(ISBLANK(F3),AVERAGE(E3:F3),(E3+F3))



But regardless of which calculation is used, I also want Excel to suppress
any zero or error values that might result. This is so I can properly
average all the calculated values at the bottom of a column.



Yes, in more straightforward conditional formulas, I've used the quotation
marks to create an empty text string in the "answer" cells. This one stumps
me, though.



It seems the form I'm looking for is: "if A, then B, else C-But also D, in
any event."



I appreciate any tips.



Arsenio
