Can the entry of array formulas in cells work with your own self-written VBA functions?

I wrote a function that recieves a Range,
but when I try to utilize it with a conditional array,
example:
{=MYFUNCTION(IF(A1:A100=10,B1:B100))}

I get #VALUE. Am I doing something wrong, or is this just not allowed with homemade functions? I did press CTRL+Shift+Enter BTW.

Select data in PDF. Paste to Microsoft Word. Copy from Word and paste to Excel.
Post your function and what you hope to accomplish with it and I'm sure that someone will be able to help you.

I'm just expirementing, so my code is just
an average function:

----
Function MyAverage(DRange As Range) As Double

Dim R As Object
Dim Sum As Double
Dim Count As Integer

Count = 0: Sum = 0

For Each R In DRange
Sum = Sum + R.Value
Count = Count + 1
Next R

MyAverage = Sum / Count

End Function
----

Now, this works fine with if I just use it in normal formulas, but it returns "#VALUE!" if I try to use it in an array formula.

So, if column A = {1;1;2;2;1} and
B = {1;4;2;9;10}

I get the following results:

As Array Formulas
{=myaverage(IF(A1:A5=1,B1:B5))} = #VALUE!
{=AVERAGE(IF(A1:A5=1,B1:B5))} = 3
As Normal Formulas
=myaverage(B1:B5) = 5.2
=AVERAGE(B1:B5) = 5.2
