I´m facing a strange problem. I have a column & I have to calculate the average. I can use average function for doing this. Sounds simple! I get an average of 8:36:04 using average formula.

But when I select all the cells, I see an average of 32:36:04 :confused: in the footer. Screenshot shown below for reference. I expected these to be same. Can the experts in this forum throw some light on this? I may be doing something silly :unsure:

Copy a format multiple times

format the cell as
