Default Average Formula

Hi,

I need to calculate average of 3 months. However, if any particular
month is defying the normal trend, that month should be ignored while
calculating the average.

For Eg:

Jan Feb Mar Average
2 2 2 2
4 4 6 4
2 1 2 2

Is this possible?

Regards,
Vinaya.

If you can quantify what "defying the normal trend" means, then you
could use an array formula (entered with Ctrl-Shift-Enter) like
=AVERAGE(IF(intrend(range),range))
where intrend(range) is an array formula that returns TRUE or FALSE for
each cell in range, depending on whether that cell should be included in
the average or not.
