Expression Help

I have this metric in a straight table and the built in totals choice of Avg works just fine and give me the correct value at the top of the column.

DaystoApprove - Sum(PausedTime)

But what I really want to do in a KPI is not working.

I want to calculate the average of the above calculation.

Avg(DaystoApprove - Sum(PausedTime)

I get an error about nesting aggregations.  If I remove the Sum I don't get the correct result.

I have tried all kinds of things and nothing has worked so far.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thx.

What are the dimensions of the straight table where you are using the expression?

hi,

Try this:

Sum(PausedTime) as TotalPausedTime  // in script.

Then make KPI:

Avg(DaystoApprove -  TotalPausedTime )

Have you tried using Aggr() function to do this? It should be something like this

Avg(Aggr(
    DaystoApprove - Sum(PausedTime)
, <StraightTableDimensionsHere>))
