Exclude Lowest and Highest Values

Hi All,

 

I'm trying to figure out the best way to exclude 5% of the top and bottom values in the table I currently have. 

 

For example if I filter the Top 5 lowest numbers I may have 12,14,16,18,20 and the Top 5 highest filtered values are 120,130,140,150. I need to exclude these to get an accurate overall average but not sure at the best place to start?

 

Thanks

Hi @Chrisss14 ,

 

Based on your description, I have created a simple sample:

Please try:

Measure = 
var _a = COUNTROWS('Table')
return AVERAGEX(TOPN(0.9*_a,TOPN(0.95*_a,'Table',[Value],ASC),[Value],DESC),[Value])

Final output:
