Here is one brute force method

=AVERAGE(SUM(D1:D100,-INDEX(D1:D100,MIN(IF(D1:D100<"",ROW(D1:D100))))), SUM(F1:F100,-INDEX(F1:F100,MIN(IF(F1:F100<"",ROW(F1:F100))))), SUM(I1:I100,-INDEX(I1:I100,MIN(IF(I1:I100<"",ROW(I1:I100))))))

it is an array formula, so commit with Ctrl-Shift-Enter, not just Enter
