    Trimmean formula or alternative

    Hi All,

    I know the trimmean formula works by removing certain values from the bottom and top of a range.

    What I need is a formula which only takes away from the top of the range. I have put an example below.

    If the trimmean formula isnt capable of calculating is there an alternative solution

    I want to average the bottom 90% of values.

    HI Jetemc

    Sorry I should of said at the outset, I am using excel 2003 unfortunately that doesnt contain the Rank.EQ formula.

    Do you know of another way around this?

    Thanks for your time looking into this
