Default setting a range automatically

You could Highlight the entire A column and enter a name into the Name box
Like MyRange then change your formula to this
=AVERAGE(MyRange)

You might want to consider using a Dynamic Range Name, which automatically
expands and contracts to accomodate the data (and without VBA code).

See Debra Dalgleish's website for instructions;

Is that something you can work with?
