Another way

=--SUBSTITUTE(TEXT(AVERAGE(--(LEFT(A1:A3,LEN(A1:A3)-2)&":"&RIGHT(A1:A3,2))),"hh:mm"),":","")

I have one column with time values in 24hr clock format (1742,812,1314,etc)
without colons. I can convert the times to a 12 hour clock and add the
colon
but I would prefer not to. I need to calculate the average time of the
column. Suggestions? I have tried the average function which returns an
incorrect value.
