calculate average but don't include the value

I am trying to calculate a mean for an examination sitting but finding the average of values not including the value itself in dax. 

Any help would be great.

To illustrate:

subjectsittingmark"average"
mathssummer 2023 60(70+80+90+50)/4
frenchsummer 2023 70(60+80+90+50)/4
englishsummer 2023 80(60+70+90+50)/4
biologysummer 2023 90(60+70+80+50)/4
historysummer 2023 50(60+70+80+90)/4

HI, @IHam 

 

Measure 2 = 
var a = CALCULATE(SUM(sub[mark]),sub[subject]<>MAX(sub[subject]))
var b =CALCULATE(DISTINCTCOUNT(sub[subject]),sub[subject]<>MAX(sub[subject]))
return 
DIVIDE(a,b)

Many thanks to both of you - they both work but the second solution is the one that seems to match my set-up.

Expertise = List.Accumulate(


        {Days as from Today},


        {Skills and Knowledge},


        (Current, Everyday) => Current & Day.LearnAndPractise(Everyday)


)
