Default Consistantly average 180 data cells

Suppose you use C1 to contain a number like 1, 2, 3 etc which is the
set of data you want to average (each of them covering 180 cells).
Then you could use this formula:

=AVERAGE(INDIRECT("A"&((C1-1)*180+1)&":A"&(C1*180)))

Then, with the following values of C1, your formula would evaluate as
shown:

C1 Formula range
1 A1:A180
2 A181:A360
3 A361:A540
4 A541:A720
etc

Hope this helps.
