Default how do I calculate the total of the lowest 10 numbers in an array

You need to provide some details:

Will there *always* be 20 scores?
If there aren't 20 scores what do you want to do?
Where are these scores? Do they go down a column or across a row?
Are there any empty cells in your range of scores?

Try:

=INT(SMALL($A$1:$A$20+ROW()*0.0001,ROW(1:10)))

Enter with Ctrl+Shift+Enter and copy down for 10 rows.

FWIW:
I got the same result with:

=SMALL($A$2:$A$21,ROW(1:1)) in B2 copied down to B11

without being CSE entered..

... so did I but I am sure it didn't work when I first tried (but I guess we
always say that!). And I added the + row()*0.001 because it didn't list the
duplicates I had in my data .. again this apears not to be necessary. So not
sure what I did differently ..???

this does require CSE:

=SUM(INT(SMALL($A$1:$A$20,ROW(1:10))))

I have been using this formula perfectly for some time.

=IF(COUNT(F4:Y4)=0,"",IF(COUNT(F4:Y4)<10,AVERAGE(F 4:Y4),AVERAGE(SMALL(F4:Y4,ROW(INDIRECT("1:10"))))) )-72
Enter with Control+Shift+Enter
