Aggregate functions
Aggregate functions perform statistical analysis on numbers (and also dates or times for some
functions) in:
• several fields in a record.
• related fields whether displayed in a portal or not.
• repeating fields.
For example, you can use the Sum function to add the values listed in a portal, as an alternative to
creating a report with grouped data and subtotals.
The parameter values can include a numeric constant (for example, 10) or any valid expression. A
constant parameter in a formula for a repeating field affects the result for every repetition.
When repeating field parameters (field1; field2;...) include a non-repeating field, that value is used in
the result for only the first repetition unless you use the
Extend function.
Values in repetitions that exceed the number of repetitions in the calculated field are ignored. For
example, a calculated field with three repetitions holds only three results, even when one field
referenced in the calculation has five repetitions.

Average
Purpose
Returns a value that is the average of all valid, non-blank values in field.
Format
Average(field{;field...})
This function Returns
Average The average of all valid, non-blank values in the specified field.
Count The number of valid, non-blank values in the specified field.
List The concatenation of all non-blank values in list form, separated by carriage returns.
Max The highest valid value in a field or fields.
Min The smallest valid non-blank value in a field or fields.
StDev The standard deviation of a series of valid non-blank values in a field or fields.
StDevP The standard deviation of a population represented by a series of valid non-blank
values in a field or fields.
Sum The total of all valid, non-blank values in the specified fields.
Variance The variance of a series of valid non-blank values in a field or fields.
VarianceP The variance of a population in a series of valid non-blank values in a field or fields.
