The #DIV/0! error in Excel when calculating an average (using the AVERAGE function) typically occurs when you're dividing by zero. This happens when the range you're averaging contains empty cells or cells with a value of zero, and the formula attempts to divide the sum of the values by the count of numbers. Excel treats empty cells as zero for counting purposes, leading to division by zero.
