Lotus 1-2-3, while ghastly, has one tremendously useful formula fuction that
both Excel and OOo are lacking:
In addition to the normal averaging functions (AVERAGE, DAVERAGE), Lotus 123
provides one called PUREAVG. It is an average of all *non-blank* cells in the
range. This means that a zero is a zero, a 'banana' is a zero, a one is a one,
but an empty cell does not increase the cell count and does not affect the 
average.
This is very useful eg. in bugdets and statistics for creating accurate YTD
figures when there are a significant number of cells in the range that have no
meaningful value (yet).

I hope you will consider adding this function to OOo Calc.

I'm not sure I filed this under the right subcomponent. Please change if 
necessary.
