I am needing help; I use spreadsheets entering 6 scores and have to
throw out
the high and low and average the remaining 4. This I can do; BUT if we
add 6
more scores to the scenario making a total of 12, is there a way to
throw out
3 high and 3 low and average the remaining 6?

I think this formula will work...

=SUMPRODUCT(LARGE(A1:A12,{4,5,6,7,8,9}))/6

Change the range of cells to match the 12 cells you have you data in.

Average will work:

=AVERAGE(SMALL(A1:A12,{4,5,6,7,8,9}))

Or, the less known:

=TRIMMEAN(A1:A12,6/12)

Although the OP said he will have 12 filled-in cells, I would point out that
if he only had between 9 and 11 filled-in cells, all of the formulas differ
in their results they produce. Yes, they all agree when there are 12
filled-in cells, but it might be important for those reading this thread to
know about the differences lest they leave this thread thinking the three
formulas are equivalent to each other.
