You are absolutly right. I am learning Excel and having a tough time with
the "Functions" when multiples are involved. I still have two more tough
ones to learn. The text book does not explain everything too well, in my
opinion.

Thanks for your help!

Hmmm sounds like homework!

Look at these formulas
=SUM(A1:A4)-MIN(A1:A4)
and
=COUNT(A1:A4)-1

Now see if you can put them together to come up
with an average.
