Avg(Aggr(sum(Dollars)/Count(standardID), Dimension))

Updated the details now

Sorry i forget to add the dimension details

Check your output with the expected manual result if it gives result then it will correct other wise you can use Avg function for this. And if the fields which is in Numerator or denominator has proper relation then it will correct for you.

You can also try with

=Aggr( sum(Dollars)/Count(standardID), DimensionName )

=Avg( Aggr( sum(Dollars)/Count(standardID), DimensionName ))

Hi,

21% is wrong. What your result means is an average of 21.49 Dollars per standardID.

It depends what you want to calculate. Dollars per standardID? Then Sum(Dollars)/Count(distinct standardID). Note the "distinct".

Or per something else? See more on Average – Which average?

If you calculate this in any chart then use

Dimension:- Person

Exper :- =Avg( (sum(Dollars)/Count(standardID) ) )

And if calculate this in any text box then

=Avg(Aggr(sum(Dollars)/Count(standardID), Person))

Re: AVG calculation

hic — Mon, 02 Jun 2014 18:09:58 GMT

Then you should calculate total cost and divide by number of persons. Hence:

Sum(Dollars) / Count( distinct PersonID )

Aggr is not needed here.

=avg(aggr(sum([Current Month Dollars])/Count(DISTINCT [Standard ID]),[Full Name])) result is =1014

=sum([Current Month Dollars])/Count(DISTINCT [Standard ID]) result is =21

which is the correct result ,which one should i follow (60663/2823 )

please guide me

Second one is seems right but without see the whole data not confirm you need to check from your side. Also as Henric suggest do not use Aggr and use PersonId in place of Standard ID but if the Personid has same Id as the Standard Id then use that.

Re: AVG calculation

hic — Mon, 02 Jun 2014 18:46:02 GMT

No, you cannot use Avg( Sum( ... ) ) without using an Aggr() function between the two aggregation functions. See more on Aggregations and Function Classes.
