How can I make an average of a range?

I want to make the average of the entries starting at B4. Tell me what should be changed in my code. Im new to vba.

    Range("F13").Select
    Application.CutCopyMode = False
    ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=AVERAGE(Range(Range("B4").End(xlDown)))"

Edit: And how does it work in this case?

Range("F17").Select
    Application.CutCopyMode = False
    Range("F17").Formula = "=IF(COUNT(R[-13]C[-2]:R[-10]C[-2])=0,10^99,COUNT(" & Range(Range("D4"), Range("D4").End(xlDown)).Address & ")"

If your goal is to have the actual formula in the cell (so it will automatically update if the values on the worksheet change) then you could do it like:

Sub test()
  Dim rgStart As Range, rgStop As Range, rg As Range
  Set rgStart = Range("B4")
  Set rgStop = rgStart.End(xlDown)
  Set rg = Range(rgStart, rgStop)
  Range("F13").Formula = "=AVERAGE(" & rg.Address & ")"
End Sub

...that is the tidier way to do it (more code but easier to understand).

This is the same code but more "compact":

Sub test()
  Range("F13").Formula = "=AVERAGE(" & Range(Range("B4"), Range("B4").End(xlDown)).Address & ")"
End Sub

If you don't actually want the formula in the cell (so it's a static value) you can still call the worksheet AVERAGE function with Application.WorksheetFunction, like:

Sub test()
  Dim rgStart As Range, rgStop As Range, rg As Range
  Set rgStart = Range("B4")
  Set rgStop = rgStart.End(xlDown)
  Set rg = Range(rgStart, rgStop)
  Range("F13") = Application.WorksheetFunction.Average(rg)
End Sub

...and again, "compacted":

Sub test()
  Range("F13") = Application.WorksheetFunction.Average(Range(Range("B4"), Range("B4").End(xlDown)))
End Sub
