Considerations when using the AVERAGEA?

If you do not want to include logical values and text representations of numbers as part of the calculation, use the AVERAGE function instead. 

If you don’t have any rows to aggregate, the AVERAGEA function returns a blank. If there is and none of them meets the specified criteria, the function returns 0.
