For example number 2,5,7,10 and 4
i want to excell to find the lowest number and then give me the average for the other four numbers.
\Can anyone help me please.

How about

=(SUM(A1:A5)-MIN(A1:A5))/4

If there are two or more min's, then this formula only removes one of them.

Hi.
This is another solution though this question has already been
solved by Mr.Juan Pablo G.

=SUMIF(A1:A5,"<>"&MIN(A1:A5))/(COUNT(A1:A5)-COUNTIF(A1:A5,MIN(A1:A5)))

If there are more than two MIN's, then this formula removes all of them.
