Need your Help - Average

L

learning_codes

Hi,

I'm able to create average in Part A, B, C, D but couldn't do average
in All Parts in a same query.

Avg
Part A - 25
Part B - 30
Part C - 20
Part D - 35
All Parts - 32 (including Part B, C, D but excluding Part A)


Your help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

If you are attempting to take the average of averages, be aware that this is
NOT mathematically sound.

If Part A's average of 25 was based on a sample of 10,000 items, while Part
B's average of 30 was based on a sample of 2 items, the overall average is
going to be much closer to 25!

To get an overall average, add up all the values and divide by the number of
values.
