I need a formula that will figure the average of any range of numbers
dropping the lowest number

Thomas Goldstein
 
One way:

=(SUM(rng)-MIN(rng))/(COUNT(rng)-1)

This assumes that you mean to drop only one value if there are multiple
instances of the "lowest number".
 
Or an array formula to exclude all instances of the minimum value
=AVERAGE(IF(H1:H14<>MIN(H1:H14),H1:H14))
to be entered with ctrl+shift+enter
