I have the PCF to get the range for each of the last 5 days:

H1*100/L1-100
H2*100/L2-100
H3*100/L3-100
H4*100/L4-100
H5*100/L5-100
 
However, what would be the PCF to get the average of these?

You need to add it all together and then divide by 5:

100 * ((H1 / L1 + H2 / L2 + H3 / L3 + H4 / L4 + H5 / L5) / 5 - 1)

You could also just average the highs and lows to get a shorter formula, but it would not exactly match because if the division in each term:

100 * (AVGH5.1 / AVGL5.1 - 1)

Would this be it?

(H1*100/L1-100) + (H2*100/L2-100) + (H3*100/L3-100) + (H4*100/L4-100) + (H5*100/L5-100) /5

You would need to re-arrange the parantheses to make your version work correctly:

(H1*100/L1-100 + H2*100/L2-100 + H3*100/L3-100 + H4*100/L4-100 + H5*100/L5-100) /5
