Default Why do I get 0.00 for "" in a formula?

I get the correct (blank) response for this formula:
=IF(ISNUMBER(DAVERAGE(EXT_DAILY_DATA,EXT_AIM_ACHIE VED_CLAMPED_START,APR_CRITERIA)),DAVERAGE(EXT_DAIL Y_DATA,EXT_AIM_ACHIEVED_CLAMPED_START,APR_CRITERIA ),"")

but I get an incorrect response (0.00) for a formula created the same way:
=IF(ISNUMBER(DAVERAGE(EXT_DAILY_DATA,EXT_TIME_IN_S TART,MAR_CRITERIA)),DAVERAGE(EXT_DAILY_DATA,EXT_TI ME_IN_START,MAR_CRITERIA),"")

I have already checked the cell formatting and it is the same.

The only possible explanation is that the second formula is calculating an
average that equals 0. Excel would not mistakenly return a 0 for a blank.
