I'm trying to do the following:
Col E Col H
9/17/08 in
9/18/08 ti
9/19/08 ot
When H13:H36 = in and H13:H36 = ti, Then return the average date from E13:E36.
Thanks in advance for any help.

This statement

"When H13:H36 = in and H13:H36 = ti"

can never be true, if you meant OR as opposed to AND

=AVERAGE(IF((B1:B3="in")+(B1:B3="ti"),A1:A3))

entered with ctrl + shift & enter will return 09/17/2008 using your example
because there are no half days etc, you would need to involve time and then
it will be 9/17/2008 12:00 but if you have many entries with "in" or "ti" it
will be strange.

Maybe you should explain what you are trying to do?

Using ROUND would be more accurate.

How would I alter this using ROUND? Also, when cells are blank I would like
it if the cell that contained this formula didn't say #DID/O! but was just
blank.
Thanks.

If you're getting #DIV/0! then that means there are no entries in column H
that meet the criteria. Try this array formula** :

=IF(SUM(COUNTIF(H13:H36,{"in","ti"})),ROUND(AVERAG E(IF(H13:H36={"in","ti"},E13:E36)),0),"")

** array formulas need to be entered using the key combination of
CTRL,SHIFT,ENTER (not just ENTER)

If there are no dates in column E then the result will be 0 (formatted as
date will display as 1/0/1900)
