Find X number of smallest values in a range
I have a range of cells (say 10 cells) with various numbers in them. I need
to find the average of the 5 smallest numbers in the range. How do I do that? Thanks, Steve |
Find X number of smallest values in a range
Try one of these. I'm assuming there will be at least 5 numbers to average.
=AVERAGE(SMALL(A1:A10,{1,2,3,4,5})) If there might be duplicates that meet the condition and you want to include those then use this array formula** . I'm assuming there are no empty cells in the range. =AVERAGE(IF(A1:A10<=SMALL(A1:A10,5),A1:A10)) ** array formulas need to be entered using the key combination of CTRL,SHIFT,ENTER (not just ENTER) -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "Steve Haack" wrote in message ...
