Average of Highest values
I Have 12 months sales history on an item. rather than work out the average
over the 12 months data, I wont to enter a formula that will give me the average of the 6 highest selling months. Is there a way I can do that? I have my data set out in rows with calendar month headings across the top. |

Average of Highest values
Use a nested formula. =AVERAGE(MAX(A2:L2),LARGE(A2:L2,2),LARGE(A2:L2,3), LARGE(A2:L2,4),LARGE(A2:L2,5),LARGE(A2:L2,6)) where MAX finds the largest and LARGE finds the kth average like LARGE(range,k) Then drag your formula down and you're set!

Average of Highest values
=AVERAGE(LARGE(A2:L2,{1,2,3,4,5,6}))
