Hi!

One way:

Entered as an array using the key combo of CTRL,SHIFT,ENTER:

=AVERAGE(IF(B1:B5<>0,B1:B5))

If you don't like working with array formulas, you could do
the following:

=SUMIF(A1:A4,"<>0")/COUNTIF(A1:A4,"<>0")

But I wonder why you think ignoring zero months gives you
the YTD average.
