I assume you mean B5:G5 are empty?

=IF( ISERROR(AVERAGE(B5:G5)),0,AVERAGE(B5:G5))

try this idea. And, in the future, please remember that "fast please" will
turn some off to your request. Also, please state the gist of your problem
in the subject line such as, "Average formula error"

=IF(ISERR(AVERAGE(P5:P10)),"",AVERAGE(P5:P10))

Thank you so much, guys.
I finally figured out a formula that works although your's is probably much
more sophisticated than mine
I used: =IF(COUNTA(C3:G3)=0,"0.00%",AVERAGE(C3:G3))
Does that look ok? It seems to work, lol :)
Thanks, Meenie

You are returning 0.00% as a text value - this might cause some
problems elsewhere in the sheet if you intend to do some arithmetic
with it.

Hope this helps.
