Excel Facts

Format cells as currency
Select range and press Ctrl+Shift+4 to format cells as currency. (Shift 4 is the $ sign).
If you format your cells as Custom

0.0;-0.0;-

then zeros will be displayed as - but the averages will calculate correctly.

If you use , as the decimal separator then I think you would need

0,0;-0,0;-

You're going to have to use:

=AVERAGE(IF(A1:A10,A1:A10)) << Entered with Ctrl+Shift+Enter Keys. Not just the Enter Key (Yhe formula bar will display the results as:
{=AVERAGE(IF(A1:A10,A1:A10))} You cannot enter the { }'s using the keyboard.

Formatting isn't going the change/alter the actual result value of the cell formula
