I have a query that returns multiple dates and I want to find the average
date... How can I do this?
I tried to use the ToOADate() to get the total of the dates as a double,
then divide by the number of dates and use FromOADate() to get back to a
date, but it does not produce the desired results (as I expected, but still
was hopefull it might).

Can you give me an example with a few dates, and tell me what your "desired" results would be? Using ToOADate/FromOADate seems like a really good idea to me, so I'm wondering what problem you were having with it.

11-03-2004
11-01-2004
I expect something like 11-01-2004 for the average of these dates. When I
use the method we are talking about, I get 11-19-1983 as the average... Here
is the code I am using:
Dim previousTask, x, y As Integer
previousTask = 1
x = 1
y = 0
Dim total As Long
total = 0
Dim average As Date
pathDataSet.Tab les.Add(New DataTable)
pathDataSet.Tab les(3).Columns. Add(New DataColumn("tas k_number",
System.Type.Get Type("System.In t32")))
pathDataSet.Tab les(3).Columns. Add(New DataColumn("tas k_date",
System.Type.Get Type("System.Da teTime")))
For i = 0 To pathDataSet.Tab les(2).Rows.Cou nt - 1
If previousTask = pathDataSet.Tab les(2).Rows(i). Item("task_numb er") Then
total += CType(pathDataS et.Tables(0).Ro ws(i).Item("tas k_date"),
Date).ToOADate
x += 1
Else
average = Date.FromOADate (total / x)
pathDataSet.Tab les(3).Rows.Add (pathDataSet.Ta bles(3).NewRow)
pathDataSet.Tab les(3).Rows(y). Item("task_numb er") = previousTask
pathDataSet.Tab les(3).Rows(y). Item("task_date ") = average
y += 1
total = 0
x = 1
End If
previousTask = pathDataSet.Tab les(2).Rows(i). Item("task_numb er")
Next

I may be doing something wrong in the code because it appears to work when
using hard-coded values. I will update this thread when I resolve or find
that I cannot resolve this issue. Thanks!

This method does work, but I had some errors in the code example. Sorry!
