Dropping the lowest score from a gradebook
If you're looking to find the average grade amongst many, then Bob was
correct, but you'll want to add:
=(SUM(A#:A#)-MINA(A#:A#))/(COUNT(A#:A#)-1)
where # = the row numbers in the array. Otherwise you'll just have a total
sum of the points.
You can format the cells to limit the amount of remaining decimals places as
well if you like.

I have a gradebook that I am working on and would like to write a formula
that will drop the lowest score from a column. Does anyone have any
suggestions?
