Default Average highest 16 numbers on a column of 32 numbers

I have a column of numbers, each with a value of 25 or less. I need a formula
to total and average the highest 16 numbers in the column. Any ideas? Thanks.


Something like these 2 expressions, array-entered*
=SUM(LARGE(A1:A100,ROW(1:16)))
=AVERAGE(LARGE(A1:A100,ROW(1:16)))
*Array-enter means press CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER to confirm the formula,
instead of just pressing ENTER

Adapt the range to suit
