Average of lowest 5 of 20 values?

[Fatfreek]

The following are what golf handicappers call differential values. I've
listed 25 of them. To compute my golf score handicap I need to take the
average of the lowest 5 of the last 20 of these values, and multiply that by
0.96.
The way I see it, the lowest 5 are 5.55, 6.59, 6.59, 6.59, and 7.64. The
average of these 5 would be 6.6.
Any way I could use my Excel 2003 with some formula?

11.82
13.92
14.96
8.68
17.05
19.15
11.82
13.92
5.55
7.64
14.96
12.87
6.59
11.82
9.73
9.73
6.59
17.05
14.96
6.59
9.73
8.68
7.64
13.92
7.64

One possible way

=SUM(SMALL(A1:A20,{1,2,3,4,5}))/5

Hi
Try:

=AVERAGE(SMALL(A1:A25,{1,2,3,4,5}))

will do the trick
