Default Tough number crunch!

You are looking at three cells B1, B2 and B3
You want a formula to change B2 based on B2's value?
Not possible
best wishes

I would like to average out some numbers. Say B1 had a value of 2, and B2
had
a value of 25, and B3 had a value of 4. I would like to have B2 to be an
average number between the other two. BUT, I only want it to be changed if
it
is greater than a 500% difference between the TWO numbers (B1-B3).

So, Take value 1 compare it to value 2...If it is under 500% diff, go to
the next one(value B2 -B3). If it is OVER 500% then it needs to check
value 3
to see if is also a difference of greater than 500% if indeed it is, value
2
needs to be changed to an average between 1&3..if it is less than 500% ,
no
changes are made. Once done I need to compare value 2 to value 3, and so
on
and so on...

Tough one for me anyhow....
