Default How to average values from 6 different drop downs in a separate text box?

I have a form with six different content control fields (all drop downs) that allow a user to rate an employee from 1 to 5. Each has a unique name.

What I would like to do is average all six values and put the result in a text box elsewhere on the form. Ideally, this would update dynamically.

I tried initially to accomplish this with the code below. This almost works. This creates a array for each of the six values [I have only pasted one below] and then populates the value with 1 to 5 depending on the user's selection.

The problem is that the sub resets after each event (On Exit) so the array only contains the most recently selected value.

Is there a fix to this or another way entirely to accomplish this task?

Code:
Private Sub Document_ContentControlOnExit(ByVal ContentControl As ContentControl, Cancel As Boolean)


Dim averageValues(0 To 5) As Integer
Dim i As Integer
Dim totalFields As Integer
Dim totalValue As Long



Select Case ContentControl.Title

'this is the first of six drop downs

Case "Project Knowledge"

        If ContentControl.Range.Text = "Poor" Then
            
                averageValues(0) = 1
                
            ElseIf ContentControl.Range.Text = "Needs Improvement" Then
                
                averageValues(0) = 2
            
            ElseIf ContentControl.Range.Text = "Satisfactory" Then
            
                averageValues(0) = 3
            
            ElseIf ContentControl.Range.Text = "Good" Then
            
                averageValues(0) = 4
            
            ElseIf ContentControl.Range.Text = "Excellent" Then
            
                averageValues(0) = 5
            
        End If

'loop through the array and find all populated values
For i = 0 To 5

    If averageValues(i)  0 Then
    
        totalFields = totalFields + 1
        totalValue = totalValue + averageValues(i)
        
    End If
Next i


    If totalFields   0 Then
    
        MsgBox totalValue / totalFields
    Else
        Exit Sub
    End If
    

End Sub
