Let's say you're using =AVERAGE(A1:A4), what do you get if you try
=COUNT(A1:A4), because if that gives zero you haven't got numbers. Have you
checked one of the cells with ISNUMBER() ?

So now that you've confirmed that the values are NOT numeric, you can look
at the many threads to which you refer, and which give answers. You'll need
to find what you've got in the cells instead of numbers.
