I am running the Ant task to run my JMeter script or jmx file. The script runs smooth and produces a csv file with the following (standard) information: timeStamp, elapsed, label, responseCode, threadName, success, bytes, grpThreads, allThreads, Latency, sampleCount, ErrorCount and Hostname.
My question is: how can I calculate the average response time from this CSV file? What is the formula? I know how to load the CSV file into MS-Excel but simply don't know what is the relationship among the elapsed time and latency with the average response time.
Can anyone please provide the formula with some explanations, if possible. Thank you!

Average response time is a simple arithmetic mean of all elapsed
(second) column values
You can ignore the Latency
value, as per The Load Reports guide
LATENCY is the delay involved for your request to reach the server. The response time that is required to receive a response from the server is the sum of the response time + latency.
Given a simple test plan which executes 2 requests to http://example.com domain, result .jtl file looks as follows:
1411131392025,1002,HTTP Request,200,OK,Thread Group 1-1,text,true,1591,1002 1411131393151,187,HTTP Request,200,OK,Thread Group 1-1,text,true,1591,179
If you open this file with View Results in Table listener the output will be as below:
Opening the same file in the Aggregate Report listener gives the following output:
So as you can see Average
time is 594
ms. It's calculated as (1002 + 187) / 2
In Excel or equivalent you can use Average function:
