Default Formula for 6 lowest #'s in a range then average of them.

Need a formula that will pick out the 6 lowest numbers in a range, then give
an average of those 6 numbers. Can anyone help?

Check this out (from http://www.cpearson.com/excel/excelF.htm)

Averaging The Lowest N Numbers In A Range
To average the N smallest numbers in a range, use the array formula

=AVERAGE(SMALL(A1:A60,ROW(INDIRECT("1:10"))))

Change "1:10" to "1:N" where N is the number of values to average.

In all of the formulas above, you can use =SUM instead of =AVERAGE to sum,
rather
than average, the numbers.

Hi,

=AVERAGE(SMALL(A1:A10,{1,2,3,4,5,6}))
