Averaging best 15 out of 20?
I have a spreadsheet set up with test scores and I want to average the best
15 scores out of 20 without manually picking the 15 scores. Basically I want to drop the lowest 5 scores for each student. Is there a formula/function that does this? Thanks, Rando |

This is an array formula, meaning you commit it with Ctrl-Shift-Enter
=AVERAGE(LARGE(A1:A20,ROW(1:15))) where the scores are in A1:A20 "Rando" wrote: I have a spreadsheet set up with test scores and I want to average the best 15 scores out of 20 without manually picking the 15 scores.

One slight adjustment that will prevent the formula changing if rows are
inserted or deleted: =AVERAGE(LARGE(A1:A20,ROW(INDIRECT("1:15")))) In article , "Duke Carey" wrote: This is an array formula, meaning you commit it with Ctrl-Shift-Enter =AVERAGE(LARGE(A1:A20,ROW(1:15))) where the scores are in A1:A20 "Rando" wrote: I have a spreadsheet set up with test scores and I want to average the best 15 scores out of 20 without manually picking the 15 scores.
