Line chart showing Daily and Monthly average

Anonymous — Sat, 10 Mar 2018 07:31:22 GMT

This is probably trivial and I bet lots of users have faced this before, but I can't seem to find a relevant discussion on this.

I want to be able to show in a line chart both the daily values and a stepped line showing the monthly (or weekely) average.

The current application analyzes the times spent by employees in the office.

The data is based on gates access timestamps, and the transactions table looks like this:

BadgeID	Gate_Access
ID1	Day1/Time1
	Day1/Time2
	Day1/Time3
	Day1/Time4 etc
ID1	Day2/Time1
	Day2/Time2 etc
ID2 etc

So for each ID, for each day, I have multiple gate access times.

With a reasonable approximation I will consider the time spent by each employee as the Max-Min for each day. I will then need to aggregate this further up at Month level or Department Level based on the Median

I calculated this as follows:

Median( aggr(max(Gate_Access)-min(Gate_Access), [BadgeID-Badge ID], [Gate_Access.autoCalendar.Date]))

Works perfectly and is correctly aggregated at all needed levels

I then want to plot this as a daily line chart, but I also want to show the Monthly average (as a stepped line).

I was able to calculate the monthly average as follows:

Avg(aggr(Median( aggr(max(Gate_Access)-min(Gate_Access), [BadgeID-Badge ID], [Gate_Access.autoCalendar.Date])), [Gate_Access.autoCalendar.YearMonth]))

However, this only calculates one value, against the start of the Month, and looks like this on the line chart - the red dot (the yellow line is a Window average):

How can I write the expression so it uses the day granularity , but using the monthly average?

May be try this

Avg(Aggr(NODISTINCT Median( aggr(max(Gate_Access)-min(Gate_Access), [BadgeID-Badge ID], [Gate_Access.autoCalendar.Date])), [Gate_Access.autoCalendar.YearMonth]))

or this

Avg(TOTAL <[Gate_Access.autoCalendar.YearMonth]> Aggr(Median( aggr(max(Gate_Access)-min(Gate_Access), [BadgeID-Badge ID], [Gate_Access.autoCalendar.Date])), [Gate_Access.autoCalendar.YearMonth], [Gate_Access.autoCalendar.Date]))

Thanks Sunny,

The second one doesn't work, it calculates a straight line across the whole date dimension (average across all dates)

The first one does the trick perfectly!
