Highest three numbers in a list

[Fred Smith]

I need the average of the highest three amounts in a range. I'm currently
using:

=(large(range,1)+large(range,2)+large(range,3))/3

Is there an easier way?

Hi Fred
I use this which is only marginally better.

=AVERAGE(LARGE(range,1),+LARGE(range,2),+LARGE(range,3))
Have you had a look in the Archives??

=AVERAGE(LARGE(Range,{1;2;3}))

entered with ctrl + shift & enter

Try...

=AVERAGE(LARGE(Range,{1,2,3}))

Hope this helps!
