My fault. I now see, that you have a range over several sheets. That is 
not possible with array-function.

But you can use {=AVERAGE({ABS($Sheet1.B1:$Sheet1.B30)} for example.

The problem is the ABS function. Otherwise a simple
=sum($Sheet1.B1:$Sheet4.B1)/count($Sheet1.B1:$Sheet4.B1)
would work.

Kind regards,
