RE: Time Averages

Hi Julie

Thank you for your question.

Normally Excel stores dates as values, so theoretically the average function should work on this: =average(cell range)

I tried copying and pasting your times into a spreadsheet and using the average function and it gave me 03:12 as the average time, which sounds about right.

I hope this answers your question.

Amanda

Excel tip:

No Zeros

Want all the zeros in your worksheet to appear blank? Choose Tools/Options, Click on the View Tab, Deselect the Zero Values Option, Click OK.
Easy wasn't it? But be aware that these cells are not actually blank, they still contain the value zero. This is important because certain functions (ie AVERAGE) make a distinction between blank cells and those with a zero value.
