I am trying to find the average time duration in hh:mm from the data in one column. Below is the search query which gives me data as below and I want the average time duration in hh:mm like average time duration of a column is 01:22 or whatever the value is.

I tried looking for the same articles but nothing seem to work.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

search month="Apr,2021" | stats count by "TotalTimeTaken (hh:MM)" |



"TotalTimeTaken (hh:MM)"
00:24
01:44
02:23
00:54

This should get you started: 

| makeresults 
| eval n="00:24 01:44 02:23 00:54" 
| makemv delim=" " n 
| mvexpand n 
| eval hhmm = substr("00:00:00",1,8-len(n)).n 
| convert dur2sec(hhmm) as seconds 
| stats avg(seconds) as avgsec 
| eval AvgDur = tostring(avgsec, "duration")

First four lines are generating test events from your example data. If you are fine with the average time in seconds, you can skip the last line.
