An if statement that does the averaging calc only when it is not zero.

Meaning something like AVERAGE(B5:D10) returns #DIV/0! ? That only
happens when there are no numeric values in the range or when one or
more of the cells in the range evaluates to #DIV/0! . You probably
shouldn't ignore the latter.

As for the former, it depends on what you want to show, but the generic
approach is

=IF(COUNT(B5:D10),AVERAGE(B5:D10),"")
