Help with Historical average

Thu, 30 Apr 2015 20:06:43 GMT

This is a bit of a newbie question I think.

I am trying to figure out how to calculate the change in the historical average for a value, and display in a chart or table.

Here is an example.

Trade Date	Cusip	Current TES
3/2/2015	00037CRG7	154.6654
3/2/2015	00037CRG7	156.0904
3/2/2015	00037CRG7	170.3641
3/3/2015	00037CRG7	150.2771
3/11/2015	00037CRG7	161.8665

The historical average is the average(Current TES) of all records other than the ones on the most recent date. The change in the historical average is the difference between the average of all records prior to most recent date and the average of the records on the most recent date.

Thanks!

Hi,

one solution could be:

=Avg([Current TES])-RangeSum(Above(Sum([Current TES]),1,RowNo()-1))/RangeSum(Above(Count([Current TES]),1,RowNo()-1))

hope this helps
