# delta7avg(percent)

### Returns the difference in 7 row average between current row and previous row as a percentage of the sum of all 7 row averages

### Purpose

Use this function to:

- Calculate changes in rolling 7 day averages as a percentage of overall change

### Calculation

1. Calculates the average for the previous seven rows [*7avg(x-1)*]
2. Calculates average for current row and previous 6 rows [*7avg(x)*]
3. Calculates difference between the 2 averages [*delta7avg*]
4. Calculates sum of all 7 row averages in result set [*sum7avg*]
5. Divides delta7avg by Sum7avg [*delta7avg%*]

**delta7avg% = delta7avg(x) - sumDelta7avg**

**sumDelta7avg** = sum( delta7avg[N]:delta1avg[0] )

**delta7avg(x)** = 7avg(x) - 7avg(x-1)

**7avg(x)** = sum([X]:[X-6]) / 7

**7avg(x-1)** = sum([X-1]:[X-7]) / 7

***sum([X]:[X-6])=** sum of current row and previous 6 rows*

***sum([X-1]:[X-7])**= Sum of previous 7 rows*

### Parameters

| 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 | delta7avg% |
| 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 / % |

### Usage Notes

Delta7avg% depends on the order in which the rows are brought back from the engine (sort order Ascending / Descending, Label / Value)

Delta7avg% depends on the number of rows brought back from the engine (options: row count)

See [7avg,](https://datajetsoftware.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/ED/pages/489259088) [7avg%](https://datajetsoftware.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/ED/pages/491061249) and [delta7avg](https://datajetsoftware.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/ED/pages/491159565) for more details on rolling averages.

### Example

- Example use: Daily change in rolling 7 day average as a percentage of total changes in rolling 7 day average

NOTE: Measures 1, 2 and 3 are included purely for illustration. It is not necessary to include these measures for the calculation to work.
