    Average value of the two highest value out of four

    How to create a formula to get the average value of any two highest value from 3 cells (A1, B1, C1 & D1) and put it into cell E1? (problem: the 2 highest value can be in any of the 4 cells, not fixed)
    Pls help.
    Thank you very much.

    Try:

    =AVERAGE(LARGE(A1:A4,{1,2}))

    where A1:A4 is the range of cells to use...


    EDIT: Removed instruction to confirm with CSE key combo. Formula is not an array formula and can be entered as is.

    You don't actually need CSE for that formula......
