What do you mean? Clicking on the figure to select a data range?

I think the simplest way to do this would be to use the brush feature.

1. Plot your data

2. From the figure toolbar, select the brush (next to the data cursor button)

3. Draw a box around the data

4. Right-click on the brushed data and create a new variable in the workspace

5. Take the mean of the data from the workspace.
