Default Highest three numbers in a list

I need the average of the highest three amounts in a range. I'm currently
using:

=(large(range,1)+large(range,2)+large(range,3))/3

Is there an easier way?

Hi Fred
I use this which is only marginally better.

=AVERAGE(LARGE(range,1),+LARGE(range,2),+LARGE(ran ge,3))
Have you had a look in the Archives??
