For the equation and for interpreting my inconsistency,; it is really

Mised that there may be less than 6 numbers in the range
=AVERAGE(LARGE(A1:A10,ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&MIN(COUNT( A1:A10),6)))))
This is an array formula which must be entered with CTRL+Shift+Enter and NOT
'just enter. If you do it correct then Excel will put curly brackets around
'the formula{}. You can't type these yourself. If you Edit the ranges
'then you must re-enter as An array

Hi,
Your message header and message body are contradictory is it sum or average?
try this
=AVERAGE(LARGE(A1:A10,ROW(INDIRECT("1:6"))))
change average to sum for sum

I am trying to get an average of list, but if there are more than 6 numbers
in the list to only use the top 6 values. My first thought was some sort of
sum of top six then a count of numbers from the list (in case there are not 6
numbers in the list).
Any help is appreciated!
