Hi Ido

Qlik is fully aware to the functionality 

here is what you can find in the help site 

GetObjectField - chart function

GetObjectField() returns the name of the dimension. Index is an optional integer denoting the dimension that should be returned.

Note:

You cannot use this function in a chart in the following locations: title, subtitle, footer, reference line expression.

Hi 

Aggr function expects dimensions not expressions.. $(=GetObjectDimension(0)  will not work

 

Avg(Aggr(Sum(Patients),Month)))

 

Below is from qlik help regarding aggr

Limitations:  

Each dimension in an Aggr() function must be a single field, and cannot be an expression (calculated dimension).

hi 

another thing is the functions getobjectdimension and getobjectfield  only works in expressions , 

and those not work in the header or referance line for that matter 

you can use a combo chart and add the referance line as an expression 

this expressions will work 

= sum(total Patients)/ count(total distinct $(=GetObjectField(0)))
