The average function should work, but it also depends on how much 'time' you
are averaging. Can you give us some examples of incorrect results? Verify
please the formatting of the cells you are averaging.

The most obvious answer is

=AVERAGE(A1:A20)

In what way are you failing to get a 'correct' average? What value do you
get? what value did you expect to get? What are your data?
