      Article summary

      Returns the 7avg (mean of previous seven rows) as a percentage of the sum of all 7avg values

      The first 7 rows are returned as NULL

      The sum of all 7day values is calculated by adding together the 7day values for each row in the resultset.

      Purpose

      Use this function to: 

      • Calculate moving average as a percentage of total

      Calculation

      7avg% = 7avg(X) / Sum(7avg(N:0))

      RowX = value for current row
      7avg(X)= 7avg for current row 
      Sum(7avg(N:0))= sum of 7avg for each row in resultset

      Parameters

      ParameterDescription
      DimensionsDiscrete field(s).    All fields must come from the same table.
      NameName to be displayed as Column Header in result grid
      MeasureThe 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.
      FunctionCOUNT / SUM / AVG / MIN / MAX / STDEV
      Post7avg%
      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.

      Axis0 / 1.    Y-Axis to use when plotting graph.     Default = 0
      PlotY / N.   Specifies whether measure’s output column should be plotted on graph.  Default = Y
      ResolveOptional.   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.

      PopupDefault / None / Extended
      Prefix$ / £ / E / %

      Usage Notes

      7avg% will change depending on the number of rows that are returned in the result set.

      See Multi-Function Profile / Options for details of how to control the number of rows in a result set

      See 7avg for more information on rolling averages.


      Example

      • Example use: 7 day average sales as a percent of Total sales

      NOTE: Measures 1 and 2 are included purely for illustration. It is not necessary to include these measure for the calculation to work.
