I'm getting some odd results with trying to find the average of the number of minutes between two date values.
Here is a list of records showing the number of minutes between two values which is correct.
select top 10
DATEDIFF(minute, timeofreview, endtimeofreview) AS CallMins
from calls
But what I want is the average of these ten and this produces the results below.
select top 10
AVG(DATEDIFF(minute, timeofreview, endtimeofreview)) as AVGDiff
from calls

There is no table name on the select in the CTE.
with ctesource as (select top(10) datediff(minute, timeofreview, endtimeofreview) as avgdiff from calls)
select avg(avgdiff) from ctesource |
