I need to be able to select the last 3 in a series of cells that 
change on a weekly basis so in
week 1: there would be 1 cell - no action
week 2: 2 cells - no action
week 3: 3 cells - sum three cells
week 4: 4 cells - sum last three
week 5: 5 cells - sum last three
and so it goes on for 8 weeks always just summing the last 3 cells 
in the series then divide by 3 subtract 30 = result ..

I'm guessing that you want separate results for each week, not just a 
single result - so that in week 5, for example, you would have three 
results, not one. Let's imagine your data is in column A, starting in 
A1. In B3, insert:
=AVERAGE(A1:A3)-30
and fill down the column.

If you want to suppress the display in B cells for which there is not 
yet an A-cell vale, try something like:
=IF(A3=0;"";AVERAGE(A1:A3)-30)

I trust this helps.

Hi Brian 


ok    lets see ..


  if we start as will be the case  C3   will contain say 50  (the actual dates are
  of little importance )  a month later  C5 will be say 47  and so on every month
  the next cell would be C7 then C9 then C11 what i need is to be able to
  automatically pick the last 3 cells containing data  so when C9 is filled in then
  it needs to automatically choose  C9 C7 C5 and add them then divide by 3  then
  subtract  a variable defined on the day   ..

Hope this makes it a little clearer 


Thanks Pete .
