I have a large range of data (thousands of rows) and I was performing the
functions average and max on cells that had time format 37:30:55. I realized in the data there were a few records that had an abnormally large value in them and from discussion they were due to unavoidable circumstances. There are a few records in each data set I am working with which are skewing my numbers (very large values). Is there a way to tell these functions (or use a different function that returns the same results) to exclude outliers or any outlier larger/smaller then what I specify? I know you can use the average function, select a range, skip over the outlier and select another range after the value, and repeat, but now that the data has so many recrds it is getting to be a tiresome task with the new data (thousands of additional records) every month that I put on a new tab. It takes a lot of time to go through thousands of rows to find the outlier and not select them in the average/max function. |
