Calculating average in weekly reporting of count of examinations

Hi QV-Experts

I try to calculate the average of the count of examinations in our radiology department on a weekly basis.

So I would like to show the count of examinations for each week with a bar chart. The weekly average of these examinations/week should be shown as a horizontal line.

I know, that I can use the standard function "Average" (see screenshot, green markers). But my problem is, that I want to use specific colors for the different years (dark blue for current year, light blue for previous year, different shades of grey for older years). I can set these colors for the bar chart, but for the average line QV sets the color automatically. So I have different colors for the bars and the average line for e.g. the year 2015.

Does anybody have a good idea to solve this problem.

Thank you.

Hi Achim,

To start, first uncheck the trendlines from the trendlines.

Then go to Presentation tab, you will see "Reference Lines", click "Add":

In the next window, you will be able to set your expression, color and label for the reference/trendline:

Hope this helps.

Hi Sinan

That works perfect. I still struggle a bit with the expression to calculate the right average per year (still learning). But the method you showed me is exactly what I was looking for.

Thanks a lot.
