HansVogelaar Actually, I figured it out. I had the formula looking for No, when it should have been looking for Yes. Made the switch and its all good now! Thanks so much for all the help!

If its any consolation, I found the triple negative pretty confusing too!
Exclude? <> "No"
My solution to the problem probably won't be any use to you (unless you feel like purchasing 365) because I avoid much in the way of traditional spreadsheet techniques.
My formula for the Group Average is

shtTotal, TOCOL(sheetTotal),
filtered, FILTER(shtTotal, include?),
AVERAGE(filtered)
)
