    AmyM-NirR I've used LET, SEQUENCE, TRANSPOSE and MMULT to accomplish this particular task. Not very straight-forward but it works.

    =LET(

    array, myData,
    r, SEQUENCE(ROWS(array)),
    c, SEQUENCE(,ROWS(array)-n+1),
    mx, TRANSPOSE((r<=c+3)*(c<=r)),
    result, MMULT(mx,array)/n,
    result
)

     

    File attached.

A little bit messy, but it does the trick.

Thanks!

Similar variant

=MMULT( INDEX( myData, SEQUENCE( ROWS(myData) - 4 + 1) + SEQUENCE(,4,0) ), SEQUENCE(4,,1,0) ) / 4
