Average within Query

[pushrodengine via AccessMonster.com]

Is there a way to average the values of field within a query?

I have a query that determines the total minutes a task takes to complete,
this field is label “Minutesâ€. I would like to average the “Minutes†not
including the blank records, and the display the average minutes in a report.

Thanks

A totals query has Average as one of the selection options.

I'm not sure how to used the Average function in this case.

SELECT AVG(minutes)
FROM tableNameHere


in SQL view, or, in query design view, bring the table (in the top half
part), click on the summation button on the toolbar to get the extra line
"total" in the grid, drag the field minutes in the grid, change GROUP BY to
AVG.



If you don't want a query, you can also use

DAvg("minutes", "tableNameHere" )

to have the average of all the records of the table.



Untested, but in a section of a report, you can also try

=Avg("minutes")


to average the minutes of all the records of the actual 'report's group'
(It works with Sum, have never tried with Avg ! )
