How to use the Average function on top of sum in Qlik straight table?

Hi All,

Please help me on the Average on top of sum function, scenario as follows:

For finding the Average Annual Premium growth for 10 years, below is the formula used

((sum({<year={2008}>}estimated_amt)/(sum({<year={2007}>}estimated_amt)-1))

+

(sum({<year={2009}>}estimated_amt)/(sum({<year={2008}>}estimated_amt)-1))

+

(sum({<year={2010}>}estimated_amt)/(sum({<year={2009}>}estimated_amt)-1))

+

(sum({<year={2011}>}estimated_amt)/(sum({<year={2010}>}estimated_amt)-1))

+

(sum({<year={2012}>}estimated_amt)/(sum({<year={2011}>}estimated_amt)-1))

+

(sum({<year={2013}>}estimated_amt)/(sum({<year={2012}>}estimated_amt)-1))

+

(sum({<year={2014}>}estimated_amt)/(sum({<year={2013}>}estimated_amt)-1))

+

(sum({<year={2015}>}estimated_amt)/(sum({<year={2014}>}estimated_amt)-1))

+

(sum({<year={2016}>}estimated_amt)/(sum({<year={2015}>}estimated_amt)-1)))

/(count distinct year)

Summing up the (current year amt/(prev year amt -1))+........ In-order to do find average, dividing the summed up values by count of distinct year i.e 10.


Please correct me, if I am using the right formula for finding the average on top of sum function.


Regards,

Padma

Sorry for the inconvenience!

Below is the corrected formula used:

((1-(sum({<year={2008}>}estimated_amt)/sum({<year={2007}>}estimated_amt)))

+

(1-(sum({<year={2009}>}estimated_amt)/sum({<year={2008}>}estimated_amt)))

+

(1-(sum({<year={2010}>}estimated_amt)/sum({<year={2009}>}estimated_amt)))

+

(1-(sum({<year={2011}>}estimated_amt)/sum({<year={2010}>}estimated_amt)))

+

(1-(sum({<year={2012}>}estimated_amt)/sum({<year={2011}>}estimated_amt)))

+

(1-(sum({<year={2013}>}estimated_amt)/sum({<year={2012}>}estimated_amt)))

+

(1-(sum({<year={2014}>}estimated_amt)/sum({<year={2013}>}estimated_amt)))

+

(1-(sum({<year={2015}>}estimated_amt)/sum({<year={2014}>}estimated_amt)))

+

(1-(sum({<year={2016}>}estimated_amt)/sum({<year={2015}>}estimated_amt))))

/(count distinct year)

Please correct me, if I am using the right formula for finding the average on top of sum function by using count (distinct year)
