Default Find the median 3 values

I need to find the median 3 values in a range, which will be added together.
I will have either 3, 5, or 7 values in the range. If I have 3 values, I just
need to add them; with 5 values, I need to throw out the high and low values;
and with 7 values, I need to throw out the 2 high and 2 low values.

For example:
Range: 3, 5, 5, 6, 4 Result: 5+5+4 (throw out 3 and 6)
Range: 5, 7, 6, 5, 7, 7, 6 Result: 7+6+6 (throw out both 5s and two of the
7s)

Can anyone help with this?
Thanks,
~ Horatio


=SUMPRODUCT(LARGE(rng,ROW(INDIRECT(1+INT((COUNT(rn g)-1)/3)&":"&COUNT(rng)-INT((COUNT(rng)-1)/3)))))
