I have an hourly (timestamp) dataset of events from the past month.
I would like to check the performance of events that occurred between certain hours, group them together and average the results.
For example: AVG income of the hours 23:00-02:00 per user:
So if I have this data set below. I'd like to summarise the coloured rows and then average them (the result should be 218).
I tried NTILE but it couldn't divide the data properly, ignoring the irrelevant hours.
Is there a good way to create these custom buckets using SQL?
dataset
From description not exactly sure how you want to aggregate. If you provide an example dataset can update answer.
However you can easily achieve this with an AVG and IF statement.
AVG(IF(EXTRACT(HOUR FROM timestamp_field) BETWEEN 0 AND 4, value, NULL) as avg_value
Using the above you can then group by either day or month to get the aggregation level you want.
In my table I have 3 colmuns
T1 T2 T3
I want to average the time in all 3.
My query in design view is set as follows:
Score: Avg([swim]+[bike]+[run])
In total, I have it done as an expression.
When I run the query an example result shows as: 8.81406810035843E-02
Any ideas how I can get it to show the average time over all 3 correctly?
I have also changed the format to hh:nn:ss - The results looks better but not correct
I hope you are looking for this
Score: Avg(([swim]+[bike]+[run])/3)
Using the Avg() funciton, you are making average of every time in column. Adding them together, the resulting time is too huge to show for access. When you average something in one row, you have to add it up and then divide by number of each member.
I have a table of data with the following:
User,Platform,Dt,Activity_Flag,Total_Purchases
1,iOS,05/05/2016,1,1
1,Android,05/05/2016,1,2
2,iOS,05/05/2016,1,0
2,Android,05/05/2016,1,2
3,iOS,05/05/2016,1,1
3,Android,06/05/2016,1,3
1,iOS,06/05/2016,1,2
4,Android,06/05/2016,1,2
1,Android,06/05/2016,1,0
3,iOS,07/05/2016,1,2
2,iOS,08/05/2016,1,0
I want to do a GROUPING SETS (Platform,Dt,(Platform,Dt),()) aggregation to be able to find for each combination of Platform and Dt the following:
Total Purchases
Total Unique Users
Average Purchases per User per Day
The first two are simple as these can be achieved via a sum(Total_Purchases) and count(distinct user) respectively.
The problem I have is with the last metric. The result set should look like this but I don't know how to get the last column to be calculated correctly:
Platform,Dt,Total_Purchases,Total_Unique_Users,Average_Purchases_Per_User_Per_Day
Android,05/05/2016,4,2,2.0
iOS,05/05/2016,2,3,0.7
Android,06/05/2016,5,3,1.7
iOS,06/05/2016,2,1,2.0
iOS,07/05/2016,2,1,2.0
iOS,08/05/2016,0,1,0.0
,05/05/2016,6,3,2.0
,06/05/2016,7,3,2.3
,07/05/2016,1,1,1.0
,08/05/2016,1,1,1.0
Android,,9,4,1.8
iOS,,6,3,1.2
,,15,4,1.6
For the first ten rows we see that getting the Average purchase per user per day is a simple division of the first two columns as the dimension in these rows represent a single date only. But when we look at the final 3 rows we see that the division is not the way to achieve the desired result. This is because it needs to take an average for each day in turn to get the overall per day amount.
If this isn't clear please let me know and I'll be happy to explain better. This is my first post on this site!
I've searched here and elsewhere on the web and have not found this exact problem/solution.
I'm building an rdlc report using the MS reportViewer - the report I'm creating is based on an existing spreadsheet where the average price across 6 months is calculated individually for each month, then the average of those prices is calculated as the 6 month period average price. Whether I agree with that methodology or if it's correct is irrelevant, I just need to know how to get an rdlc to do this.
For example:
Month Price1 Price2 Delta
May-12 $31.54 $30.03 $1.51
Jun-12 $36.27 $34.60 $1.67
Jul-12 $44.19 $42.00 $2.19
Aug-12 $38.96 $37.06 $1.90
Sep-12 $36.89 $35.08 $1.81
Oct-12 $35.57 $33.97 $1.60
Average $37.24 $35.46 $1.78
(sorry for the lack of a screen snip, I'm new and the system won't let me post an image...)
I've created a tablix that does the monthly averages computation - I use a group in the table to group the 6 months of data by month (and then hide the hourly price data so you only see the month total row) but I'm stuck on how to calculate the bottom row of the table which is the average of each column. (the average of the averages is not the same as the average of all 6 months of prices from the underlying data - that's what I've learned in this process... IOW, that was my first solution :-) )
What I tried to do to get the average of the averages was give the month total cell a name, MonthlyAvgPrice1, then in the bottom row, used this expression:
Avg(reportitems!MonthlyAvgPrice1.Value)
As I kind of expected, this didn't work, when I try to run the report, it gets a build error saying "The Value expression for the textrun 'Price1PeriodAvg.Paragraphs[0].TextRuns[0]' uses an aggregate function on a report item. Aggregate functions can be used only on report items contained in page headers and footers."
Hopfully I've explained this well, does anyone know how to do this?
Thanks!

Actually it is not clear from the question that how are you in particular binding the data to the report items, But from the given information what I understand is that you can
Try like this:
Right Click the tablix row and insert a row below
In the cell where you want to have this Average of Averages insert the following expression
=Sum(Fields!Price1.Value)/6
and similarly insert expression =Sum(Fields!Price2.Value)/6 and =Sum(Fields!Delta.Value)/6 in the other cells where you want to display the Averages
Of Course, you will change the Field names Price1,Price2 etc to the fields that you are getting the values from.

I have a table that lists every task an operator completed during a day. This is gathered by a Shop Floor Control program. There is also a column that has the total hours worked that day, this field comes from their time punches. The table looks something like this:
Operator 1 Bestupid 0.5 8 5/12/1986
Operator 1 BeProductive 0.1 8 5/12/1986
Operator 1 Bestupidagain 3.2 8 5/12/1986
Operator 1 Belazy 0.7 8 5/13/1986
Operator 2 BetheBest 1.7 9.25 5/12/1986
I am trying to get an efficiency out of this by summing the process hours and comparing it to the hours worked. The problem is that when I do any kind of summary on the hours worked column it sums EVERY DETAIL LINE.
I have tried:
If Previous (groupingfield) = (groupingfield) Then
HoursWorked = 0
Else
HoursWorked = HoursWorked
I have tried a global three formula trick, but neither of the above leave me with a summable field, I get "A summary has been specified on a non-recurring field"
I currently use a global variable, reset in the group header, but not WhilePrintinganything. However it is missing some records and upon occasion I will get two hoursworked > 0 in the same group :(
Any ideas?
I just want to clarify, I have three groups:
Groups: Work Center --> Operator --> Date
I can summarize the process hours across any group and that's fine. However, the hours worked prints on every detail line even though it really should only print once per Date. Therefore when I summarize the Hours Worked for an operator the total is WAY off because it is adding up 8hours for each entry instead of 8 hours for each day.
Try grouping by the operators. Then create a running total for the process hours that sum for each record and reset on change of group. In the group footer you can display the running total and any other stats for that operator you care to.
Try another running total for the daily hours but pick maximum as the type of summary. Since all the records for the day will have the same hours work the maximum will be correct. Reset with the change of the date group and you should be good to go.
