Average weeks waited

[#1]

Hi, I need to work out an average weeks patients have waited. So i have the number of patients (metric_value) and the amount of weeks waited per patient (weeks_metric), and i want to show on average how long patients wait to be seen in th hospital.

I used this:

avg (total  {$<Metric_Code={'RTT21'}>} Metric_Value  )

but i dont know how to fdit in the by weeks metric. this just shows admitted patients (RTT21) as a whole.

Please can you help? I imagine its something like

avg (total  {$<Metric_Code={'RTT21'}>} Metric_Value , weeks_metric) ??

Thanks,

Hello, Kate!

Dimension:

Metric_Code

Expression:

sum(Metric_Value)/sum(weeks_metric)

Thanks, but that doesnt give what i need...

How would you type that in?

sum ( {$<Metric_Code={'RTT21'}>} Metric_Value) / sum ( weeks_metric )

This comes out 0.02 which is nowhere near the average amount of weeks a patient waits.

Thanks,

can you attach your model?

What do you mean? This is the code for the load, which is the same for all our tables, the metric_vlaue is a count of patient id and the weeks_metric is worked out using days waited and then how many weeks they waited. I just want to try and work out, out off all the patients (which have a week metric attached to them) how long they waited on average.

,

    "fk_calendar" as Calendar_ID,

    "fk_consultant" as Consultant_ID,

    "fk_gp" as GP_ID,

    "fk_metric" as %Metric_ID,

    1 as Outcome_ID,

    1    as Priority_ID,

    1 as Source_Of_Ref_ID,

    "fk_Specialty" as Specialty_ID,

    "Metric_Value",

    "Patient_type",

    "Metric_Part",

   "Activity_Date",

  "weeks_metric",

Thanks,

Can you post a qlikview document that demonstrates the problem?

Hi!

As I understood your data is like this:

SetData:

Load * Inline [

Week, Metric_Value, Weeks_Metric

1, 3, 8

2, 4, 9

3, 2, 6

4, 3, 6

5, 7, 12

];

In that case:

=Sum(Weeks_Metric)/Sum(Metric_Value)

If you write Total to aggregate function it will calculate through all values. With my data Sum(Total Metric_Value) will give number of patients for all weeks (19) for every row.
