    Keyword A: rank = 0 (no rank)
    Keyword B: rank = 1
    Keyword C: rank = 2
    If "Include Not Ranked" is OFF, Keyword A is excluded from the calculation, so the Average Rank is (1+2)/2 = 1.5 
    If "Include Not Ranked" is ON, the rank of keywords with rank = 0 is changed to the user defined value "Not Ranked Value" = 100. The new Average Rank is (1+2+100)/3 = 34.3
