I would like to be able to determine the average of the largest 5 numbers in
a column of 80 numbers. How to do??

Thanks for your help.

Hi,

Try this

=AVERAGE(LARGE(A1:A80, {1,2,3,4,5}))

Try this:

=AVERAGE(MMAX(A1:A80,5))

Hi

Try this formula:

=(LARGE(B1:B80,1)+LARGE(B1:B89,2)+LARGE(B1:B80,3)+LARGE(B1:B80,4)+LARGE(B1:B80,5))/5

Regards,
Per

Seems to be a typo somewhere here?

=AVERAGE(MMAX(A1:A80,5))

Ooops!

Technically not a typo, but not a native Excel function.

MMAX is a function in the Morefunc add-in. So, if the poster has the
Morefunc add-in installed then it'll work.
