7avg

Returns the mean of the previous seven rows

Takes the previous 7 rows, adds them up, and divides by 7.

The first 7 rows will return NULL

Use this function to:

7avg = Sum([x-1]:[x-7]) / 7

Row(X-1) = previous row

Row(X-7) = seventh previous row

sum([X-1]:[X-7]) = sum of previous 7 rows in result set

Parameter	Description
Dimensions	Discrete field(s). All fields must come from the same table.
Name	Name to be displayed as Column Header in result grid
Measure	The field to be used in the post-function calculation. Must be numeric if Function is anything other than COUNT. Must come from same table as DIMENSIONS. Supports Discrete or Continuous DataTypes.
Function	COUNT / SUM / AVG / MIN / MAX / STDEV
Post	7avg
Value	Optional. Filter to apply when evaluating FUNCTION. Only records in the Filter Recordset will be included in the Function and Post-Function calculations. Must come from same table as DIMENSION/MEASURE or be linked to the Dimension table.
Axis	0 / 1. Y-Axis to use when plotting graph. Default = 0
Plot	Y / N. Specifies whether measure’s output column should be plotted on graph. Default = Y
Resolve	Optional. Resolve level for the measure. If blank, Resolve = Dimension Table
Series Type	Default / Bar / Stacked Bar / Line / Spline / RangeLow / RangeHigh / CSLow / CSHigh / CSOpen / CSClose Determines the graph style for the measure.
Popup	Default / None / Extended
Prefix	$ / £ / E / %

Use 7day to smooth out a data series and help identify long-term trends.

See Post Processing - MovingAverage for more rolling average options.

Example use: Running 7 day average for sales
e.g Running 7 day average Total of sales. Adds the last 7 days sales figures and divides by 7 to get the mean.

NOTE: Measure 1 is included purely for illustration. It is not necessary to include this measure for the calculation to work.
