I need help averaging cells that contain numbers ranging from -1200 to 1200 approximately, or blank values only. I will be averaging them by groupings of 100 increments ie. -1200 to -1100, -1100 to-1000 etc...the cells are contained in 16 columns that are non-continuous or adjacent. There are 9 columns between each column that contains values to be averaged. My attempts either give me a divide by zero error or when I attempt to resolve blanks with if statements and " " I get text cannot be coerced into numbers. I read a solution that involves frequency and index functions that looks like this

=SUM(B3:B7,D3:D7,F3:F7)/INDEX(FREQUENCY((B3:B7,D3:D7,F3:F7),0),2) 

but have not been able to get it to work for my application it was an Excel solution and my issue is in Google Sheets so? https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1kwGbFd88cgifQRK_ZqsahQt1aDLzMTnmxHKs7mML5jA/edit?usp=sharing

So (C4:C67, D4:D64, J4:J:67, K4:K67, Q4:Q:67, R4:R67) I would like to have an average value of all numbers say from -200 to -300 and for it to be entered in the destinations (b:120,b:137)
