Taking Average ignoring #DIV/0! in the range...
 

Currently if I use the average function for the months, it will show the
results to be "#DIV/0!".

What formula can I use such that when theres only data for 4 months, it will
only take average of 4 months and if theres 5 months data it will only take
average of 5 months and so on instead of showing me "#DIV/0!".

Please help. Thanks!

The easiest way to handle this would be to change the formulas so they don't
return errors. For example:

=IF(ISERROR(your_formula),"",your_formula)

These will ignore the errors:

=IF(COUNT(B1:B12),SUMIF(B1:B12,"<1E100")/COUNT(B1:B12),"")

This one is an array formula** :

=IF(COUNT(B1:B12),AVERAGE(IF(ISNUMBER(B1:B12),B1:B 12)),"")

** array formulas need to be entered using the key combination of
CTRL,SHIFT,ENTER (not just ENTER). Hold down both the CTRL key and the SHIFT
key then hit ENTER.
