    How to average time in minutes?

    Hey there - I know this is possible and my problem is some kind of formatting issue, I just can't figure out exactly what.

    Basically, I have two columns with a Time In and a Time Out, then a column with =TEXT(B2-A2,"h:mm") to return the total time taken and put it in hours and minutes (although really I just need the minutes, since none of these tasks will be over an hour).

    Now how do I get an average of those minutes? Example spreadsheet attached. Just using the "Average" function returns an error.

    Thanks!

    Try this...

    Enter this formula in C2:

    =MOD(B2-A2,1)

    Format as h:mm

    Copy down as needed.

    Your average formula is now working. Format that cell as h:mm.
