Calculate average times

[tarumatu]

Hi, i'm having a hard time working out average pageview times on a website. I've already had a look on a number of posts but nothing seems to work, i've tried right-clicking the data range and formatting to time or custom as hh:mm:ss as my times are displayed as hours mins secs. I've tried the standard =average(data range), as well as =TEXT(AVERAGE(a1:a1000),"[hh]:mm:ss").Each time i get an error #DIV/0!. I dont understand why it doesnt work, could it be because the data range is from over 1500 rows of data? Can anyone help?

why not put 10 typical times as formatted on here - on the assumption a time is 6 35 49 I will get back in 5 minutes

Hi, thanks for the quick reply. I need to keep the average time in the same format, i cant round up or down as the times have to be as precise as possible, so the result needs to be in hours, mins and secs.

I think i understand. If i add up all the data ranges with =sum(a1:a1234) i get 00:00:00

 

[tarumatu]

I'd formatted the data range to custom/hh:mm:ss
