That looks like it is working. I will play with it by adding a few numbers
here and there to see how it changes. If you have a minute would you mind
posting back a little verbage as to difference between my second option (-1,
2:10) and yours (,, 1:9). Just trying to understand instead of just doing.

THANKS!

Hey Gang,

Excel 2003

I have created (with help from my friends here) a little spreadsheet that
tracks my handicap at my golf club using the array below. I created the
worksheet function that does the following:

Averages the lowest 10 of the last 20 scores, factors in the slope and
.96
fudge factor and comes up with a handicap. Problem at our course is they
use their own system and throws in a twist. They still take the lowest
10
of the last 20, but they drop the lowest of those 10 scores and use the
remaining 9 to figure a handicap.

Here is the current function that I have been using for the lowest 10 of
the
last 20. Any way to drop the lowest of those 10 and only take the
remaining
9 with the formula below?

{=AVERAGE(SMALL(OFFSET(G1,COUNT(G:G)-1,,-20),ROW(INDIRECT("1:10"))))}

I tried using:

{=AVERAGE(SMALL(OFFSET(G1,COUNT(G:G)-1,,-20),ROW(INDIRECT("2:10"))))}

but the number just didn't seem consistent. Maybe it is and I just
paranoid
that my handicap is too dang low! HA!

TIA!
