Default Averaging Time

Didn't work for me. The formula seems affested by the empty cells in between
the numbers. Any ideas?

Not a problem if there are empty rows. The formula still works.

Any way to make that formula work with empty rows in between the entries?
I've got a couple hundred of them.

With your data in A1:A5, put the following in B1:

=AVERAGE(MOD(A1:A5,1))

and hit Ctrl-Shift-Enter (because this is an array formula).

Format B1 as time.

She's supposed to start work at 10:00am every day, and I need to figure
out
what time she usually checks in. I've tried a typical averaging
formula, but
that gives me the mean time between all of the days, which is around
noon on
the 17th.

Any ideas?

Sorry if this is a duplicate post by me in the last couple of minutes.
