Excel time values are formatted decimal numbers. The AVERAGE and STDEV
functions should work just fine with them. ScottO has already pointed
out that there is a histogram tool in the Analysis ToolPak.
As a diagnostic, you might try COUNT(yourTimedata) and verify that they
are indeed Excel time values and not text.

I need to perform some basic descriptive statistics on time values of the
format +/-yy ddd hh:mm:ss.mss. Most of the values are less than a 1 sec. So
most of the data points look like + 00 000 00:00:01.01.
Specifically, I want to be able to take the average of these values and find
the standard deviation - a histogram would be great, but if I have to
manually create one, not a big deal.
Any help would be appreciated.
