Weighted Average
I want to average a series of grades (ex: C1 through K1), but want to drop
the lowest score in the series. However if 2 or more grades are the same, I want to drop only ONE of them. Additionally I wish to have that "dropped" grade highlighted (conditionally formatted) in the list even though it is not calculated into the average. |

Weighted Average
Not very sure, but see whether this returns what you're after:
Try in say, L1: =AVERAGE(LARGE(C1:K1,{1;2;3;4;5;6;7;8})) And for the Conditional Formatting: Select C1:K1 (with C1 active) Put as the cond format formula: =C1=MIN($C1:$K1) Format to taste OK out In the event of ties in the minimum value within C1:K1, the CF will trigger all occurences -- Rgds Max xl 97 --- Singapore, GMT+8 xdemechanik http://savefile.com/projects/236895 -- "MedicEric" wrote in message ...

=(SUM(C1:K1)-MIN(C1:K1))/8 complete normally with ENTER best wishes -- Bernard V Liengme www.stfx.ca/people/bliengme remove caps from email "MedicEric" wrote in message ...
