Assuming those numbers are in column A, you can use this array*
formula:

=AVERAGE(IF(A1:A165,A1:A16))

An array formula needs to be committed using the key combination of
Ctrl-Shift-Enter (CSE) rather than the usual <enter. If you do this
correctly then Excel will wrap curly braces { } around the formula
when viewed in the formula bar - do not type these yourself. If you
edit the formula you will need to use CSE again.

Hope this helps.

I need to average ranges of cells in a column, only if they greater than a

the cells that are greater than 5. Is there an easy way to do this?
