    I'm trying to add 4 cells, then divide the sum by 4 to get the average.

    I'm trying to add 4 cells, then divide the sum by 4 to get the average. This --- =SUM(E20:H20 /4) --- doesn't work. How do I add the division portion into the formula? Thank you in advance!

    Why not this?

    =AVERAGE(E20:H20)

    or this:

    =SUM(E20:H20)/4

    I know that this thread is marked as SOLVED, but I'd like to add a few words only.
    The original formula =SUM(E20:H20/4) is also correct but if it is entered as an array formula, not as a "standard" formula.
