Hi,
is it possible to have a rollup in Average value?

ex.

Month   Inventory at Cost   
1   100   
2   150   
3   100   
4   600   
5   500   
Total (Sum)   1450   
      
Average   1450/5 =    290

Instead of giving 1450 in the Rollup value it will give 290 as average.

Thank YOu

This is called an 'After Rollup' aggregation.

If you have one measure representing the month count, and one measure representing Inventory, then create a calculated measure and it will automaticalyl do this.

The difficult part is getting the measure representing the month count. You might want to try creating a category count measure and see if that works.
