    "One month" becomes rater vague as it may be 28, 29 30 or 31 days long depending on the month and year. If you then want to come-up with some overall average of your 20000 sets of date/time-stamps, you could say "it's 40 days and 10 hrs" and translate that to "roughly one month plus 10 and a half days".

    Have attached an example for your reference.
