How do you find the average count within a time range?

I have the following search that shows users who are continuously being infected over a 30 day period:

index=foo
| stats count range(_time) as TimeRange by user src app app:category app:subcategory threat url
| where TimeRange>1800 
| where NOT zone="null"
| eval TimeRange_In_Hours = round(TimeRange/3600,2), TimeRange_In_Days = round(TimeRange/3600/24,2)

is it possible to show the avg count within the time range being returned per user?

Thx

What average do you want to calculate?

If possible, the avg hits within the TimeRange_In_Hours

So avg number of hits per hour? If count is the total number of hits, just do | eval avg_hits = count / TimeRange_In_Hours. Or am I not understanding your objective?

That was it - I was overthinking the issue when it ended being very simple

Thx!
