    Grade book - Replacing lowest of 1st 3 tests with another score.

    I have a professor that gives 3 exams plus a final. He will replace the lowest of the first three exams with the higher of either the average of the first 3 or the final exam score. Is there a formula to figure this out? It can take up several cells if need be. I just want it to do it for me.

    Look at the attached file. In column C, you'll find the formulas. It really depends on the placement of other cells.
    =IF(B3=MIN(B3:B5);MAX(AVERAGE(B2:B4);B5);B3)

    @p24leclerc,

    I was looking at this thread and then saw your post...

    Just thought I would pass on an observation, you seemed to have missed the absolute references and some references were off...

    =IF(B2=MIN($B$2:$B$4),MAX(AVERAGE($B$2:$B$4),$B$5),B2)
    HTH

    You are absolutely right. I overlook that.
    Thanks Jeffrey
