I calculate a three-month moving average in hundreds of sheets using the formula below.

April (4) is always an anomaly so I want to exclude it from any affected averages. For example- for may's average, I want to use May, March and February. I looked at trimmean but I don't think that works in this instance.

Any ideas on how I could do this please?
