		Is it possible to calculate an average within a set expression? I would like to calculate the average number of active employees for the current selection.
I am calculating the active EE by =num(COUNT({<PeriodType={'Current'},isActiveEmp_flg={1}>}DISTINCT Employee_Number),'#,##0')
After updating my expression to include Avg, I do not return any results. Is this due to aggregate and non aggregate? 
If i understand correctly, You can define as
num(Avg(Aggr(COUNT({<PeriodType={'Current'},isActiveEmp_flg={1}>}DISTINCT Employee_Number),AsOfPeriod)),'#,##0')

		How are u calculating the AVG?
u can't use 2 agg functions at the same time ; to use the avg, ur expression should be as follow:
avg(aggr(count(measure),dimension))
