Try:

=AVERAGE(OFFSET(INDIRECT("B"&MATCH(LOOKUP(99^99,B: B),B:B,0)),-4,0,5))

Thanks so much for that timely reply Toppers :).

I'm doing it with column B, so I modified your formula to
=AVERAGE(OFFSET(INDIRECT("B" & COUNTA(B:B)),-4,0,5)) . It does an
average,
but not the right average. I pull down this data from a web query and
cells
B1 & B2 are empty, and cell B3 is the title for the column.

Any help on modifying the formula is appreciated.

Regards, Bob

if there are no blank cells in the column

Hi folks,

In my workbook, I have a bunch of worsheets, where I'm average all
numbers
in one column. I'd like to add one more stat, to where I'd like to
average
the last 5 #'s in a column. Only thing is that no column ends on the
same
row, so I can't specifiy specific cells..

Need some help to develop an average formula to pick the last five
entries
in a column.

TIA.

Bob
