So I have a pivot table and this pivot table is set to averages and the format of mm:ss the same is set in the column that has the data in the table.

I could even have one row of 23:01 And it will still show something like 57:42 I do have some blank values that would be returned set as 00:00

It does not throw out and div or ref errors which is good. I even had it remove blank values and still get the same results!

Any thoughts or suggestions?

Links? Where??
If Excel says you have links but you can't find them, go to Formulas, Name Manager. Look for old links to dead workbooks & delete.
Welcome to the forum.

I'd pretty much guarantee it's a data issue. Perhaps your source data is formatted in such a way that it doesn't display its real values - eg it's formatted as hh:mm but contains a date portion too.

You are absolutely correct that turned out to be the issue. I did a power query removed it and worked as needed. Thank you so much for your input
