I'm trying to pull an average on Sheet 2 from columns C:F on Sheet1 based on a match in column A on Sheet 1 and column B on Sheet 2. I thought this should be a simple AVERAGEIF formula. I entered the formula as follows:

=AVERAGEIF('Sheet1'!A:A,'Sheet2'!B:B,'Sheet1'!C:F)

However, I am not receiving the value I should be.

Averageif is not using the right average_range

Try
Code:
=(SUMIF(Sheet1!$A$2:$A$14,B2,Sheet1!$C$2:$C$14)+SUMIF(Sheet1!$A$2:$A$14,B2,Sheet1!$D$2:$D$14)+SUMIF(Sheet1!$A$2:$A$14,B2,Sheet1!$E$2:$E$14)+SUMIF(Sheet1!$A$2:$A$14,B2,Sheet1!$F$2:$F$14))/(SUMPRODUCT(--(Sheet1!$A$2:$A$14=B2),--(Sheet1!$C$2:$C$14<>""))+SUMPRODUCT(--(Sheet1!$A$2:$A$14=B2),--(Sheet1!$D$2:$D$14<>""))+SUMPRODUCT(--(Sheet1!$A$2:$A$14=B2),--(Sheet1!$E$2:$E$14<>""))+SUMPRODUCT(--(Sheet1!$A$2:$A$14=B2),--(Sheet1!$F$2:$F$14<>"")))

In C2 of Sheet2, control+shift+enter, not just enter, and copy down:

=AVERAGE(IF(Sheet1!$A$2:$A$14=$B2,IF(ISNUMBER(Sheet1!$C$2:$F$14),Sheet1!$C$2:$F$14)))
