You still obviously haven't read my original post in what I'm trying
to achieve :(

No, this is not what I'm asking for at all... Why are you so convinced
I'm having an issue converting Watts over time in Wh ?

Did you look at what I'm graphing ?

As you can see that, I have no problem drawing the kWh usage on my
system (or could be MJ but that's irrelevant)...

The problem is calculating the way electric company will calculate
their FIT (feed-in-tarif) ; those are based on 5 minutes average but I
want to plot a daily average of 5 minutes average of that. I currently
use a RPN calculation in a CDEF to calculate the value.
No issue with average or calculating the total...
