perhaps you didn't change from my EXAMPLE. Try this.
=AVERAGE(LARGE($E$6:$W$6,{1,2,3}))

=AVERAGE(LARGE(E6:W6,{1,2,3}))

Same for other range.

Just a thought here...

If you are typing the formula, instead of copy/paste, did you notice the
curly braces in the formula?

=AVERAGE(LARGE(E6:W6,{1,2,3}))
The character before the 1 is on the [ key (you hold down Shift to get it).
The character after the 3 is on the ] key (again, hold down Shift to get it).

Does that help?

Nah...don't send the worksheet...

Just copy the below formula
(paint through it using your mouse then right click and select Copy)
=AVERAGE(LARGE(E6:W6,{1,2,3}))

Then, click on any cell on your worksheet that is NOT in row 6.
Right click and select Paste.

Does that help?

Hi

What is array delimiter in window's International settings for your comp?
Maybe semicolon! (Check a version of Don's formula I posted yesterday!)
