Not sure what you are trying to do exactly, but you will never be able to calculate the average of days using only hours, minutes, and seconds of time measures. They all reset to zero at midnight!
To measure differences in time you need to use timestamp values of Time measures. They are the easiest way to save and measure time differences for any length of times.
Timestamps represents a precise moment in time. Timestamp values will simplify setting a start time and comparing that time, using simple addition/subtraction of the timestamp values, to any date's timestamp in the past or future. From the timestamp value you can retrieve the year, month, date, hour, minute, and second of that precise time.
The following measure will return the current time as a timestamp for the NUMBER value and a format of HH:MM:SS for the STRING value.Create a start time by setting a variable to the current time measure's timestamp value:
!LeftMouseUpAction=[!WriteKeyValue Variables StartTime "[MeasureTime:Timestamp]"][!SetVariable StartTime "[MeasureTime:Timestamp]"]
Create another time measure to calculate the time elapsed since the StartTime variable was set:JSMorley posted tips on using Timestamps that you definitely should read through.
Here's an example skin that will set a StartTime variable and calculate the elapsed time even when refreshed or unloaded and reloaded.Hope this gives you some ideas for your project. Feel free to ask if you have any questions.

[MeasureTimeElapsed]Measure=TimeTimestamp=([MeasureTime:Timestamp]-#StartTime#)DynamicVariables=1Here's an example skin that will set a StartTime variable and calculate the elapsed time even when refreshed or unloaded and reloaded.
