But that would be a true average, yes?

Not if you want to exclude 0 for whatever reason.

The OP questioned the average when "only n of the cells have a number"
(where n in {3,4})

Yeah, but then how did they get 3 as the result? Filling the the other cells
with 0 does that. I could be wrong but that's how I "read between the lines"
and got a result of 3.

We'll just have to wait for a response from the OP to find out what's really
going on!

A10, B10, f10, all have the number 10 but when I get the average I get
3
I get average = 10

Fill all the other cells with 0 and you'll get an average of 3.
