You need to lock the start row down. You do this with absolute referencing
of the row.

Use

=AVERAGE(A$1:A2)

and copy down

You know how you can set an entire column with the same formula by
dragging at the bottom right hand corner of a formulized block... well
I need help with a formula. Its a bit complicated to explain, but I'll
try my best.

I want a formula that will keep the running averages.

100 ave: 100.0
105 ave: 102.5
180 ave: 128.3
100 ave: 121.3

When I type in =AVERAGE(A1:A2)

then I drag down the formula to affect the other lines...

I want them to show

=AVERAGE(A1:A3)
=AVERAGE(A1:A4), etc...

but it ends up showing

=AVERAGE(A2:A3)
=AVERAGE(A3:A4)

Please help.
