Using Excel as a gradebook with ability to drop lowest grade
I use Excel as my gradebook using separate worksheets for subcategory. In the
test worksheet, I would like to be able to, for each student, drop the lowest test grade. This may be a different test for each student. |

Try this:
=(SUM(B2:F2)-(MIN(B2:F2)))/(COUNT(B2:F2)-1) This will drop the lowest grade and give you the average grade after the lowest grade is dropped. This assumes that you have five grades entered in columns B through F. Hope this helps. "Teacher" wrote: I use Excel as my gradebook using separate worksheets for subcategory.

Assuming that B2:F2 contains the test grades (5 for this example),
here's another way... =AVERAGE(LARGE(B2:F2,{1,2,3,4})) Hope this helps! In article , "Teacher" wrote: I use Excel as my gradebook using separate worksheets for subcategory.
