How to get the average of a previous month in the current month ?

Hi

I have a grid where in I need to calculate the average of the commissions selected for a couple of months and then to send it to another grid of a different month. How do I do it ?

Yep use TIMESUM, not CUMULATE and only sum on the months you want, presumably the last three months. Use a dimensionless module to calculate the last three months so you aren't hard-coding. You've almost got this!

MOVINGSUM would be your best choice since the TARGET module also uses time. In a clutch, you can also use TIMESUM but that is not a very efficient function. If you use MOVINGSUM you'll need to also add up the denominator so you can calculate the average. This can be done by using a counter (If commission >0 then 1 else 0). This will give you the count to use to create the average.

So, MOVINGSUM(Commission of the months you're interested in) / Counter = Average commission.

Now, if you only need one value for the current month, then I would suggest you create a reporting module that is not dimensioned with time at all. This will allow you to use TIMESUM.

Thank you for replying
I used Timesum(Average) in a module that has no dimensions but it gave me a huge value.

I have A6 as the parent list and two sibling lists: A6.5 and A7. The A7 list includes an attribute that maps to A6.5.
