    new to excel and vbscript - need help

    I am familiar with MS EXcel but I dont know VBscript, so please help.

    I have a XL sheet with data in three columns - A,B and C.



    I want to find the biggest two out of A,B,C and then average the two.

    How should my VBscript look like ?


    Thanks

    Wouldn't it be simpler to do this with a macro in Excel?

    You're right, there is no stated requirement that suggests a VBS
    implementation. In fact, looking at the stated problem, it would seem
    to me that there isn't even a need for a VBA macro. This worksheet
    formula in column D solves the problem ...

    =(SUM(A1:C1)-MIN(A1:C1))/2

    That is, unless there is something else that wasn't said in the
    original post.
