average values in non-contiguous cells, ignoring 0 values

How do I average the values in non-contiguous cells, while ignoring cells
with 0 values? I tried the average function, but the IF conditional seems to
recognize only contiguos cells. I keep getting the "The formula you entered
contains an error..." message, and cannot execute the F2 ctl+shift+enter
command.
Any ideas?

One way, assuming the noncontiguous range is G7:G9,G12:G14

=SUM(G7:G9,G12:G14)/SUMPRODUCT((G7:G9<>0)+(G12:G14<>0))

Or it could be modified

SUM(G7:G9,G12:G15)/(SUMPRODUCT(--(G7:G9<>0))+SUMPRODUCT(--(G12:G15<>0)))
