Default Best average for 5 years out of 8

=AVERAGE(LARGE(A1:H1,{1,2,3,4,5}))
This is an array formula so commit it with CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER not just ENTER
best wishes

I am trying to figure out how to calculate an average of the best five
years
out of 8.

My first example is 0, 3, 3, 5, 5, 3, 5, 5 I would expect my average to
be
4.6.

Another example is 5, -2, -2, -2, -2, 0, 0, 0 I would expect my average
to
be -0.6
