=SUMPRODUCT((Range<>"")/COUNTIF(Range,Range&""))

where Range cannot be a whole column reference like A:A.

[1] The SumProduct function should implicitly coerce the truth values to
their Excel numeric equivalents.
[2] The lookup functions should have an optional argument for the return
value, defaulting to #N/A in its absence.
