Exclude Zeros From Average

I am calculating an average but I do not want the zero values to be included in the average. How can I exclude them?

Accepted answers

You can do this by adding a line item to count the values you want to include, i.e.: add a line item 'Count' = If 'Value' <> 0 then 1 else 0. Then you can calculate the average with a formula that is 'Value' / 'Count'. You will need to change the summary type of this line item to either 'Formula' or 'Ratio'. If you choose ratio, you need to specify the Numerator / Denomator below, so you would select 'Value' / 'Count' in this case.

not entirely elegant but....you'll need to use a "signal row" = if number row <> 0 then 1 else 0….next add calc row that divides ‘number row’ by "signal row" (the count)…and in blueprint mode change the calc row from sum to ‘formula’.

New UX Filtering for Hierarchy sibling
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. In the UX, the user will select A6.5 using a content selector, and the grid (dimensioned by A7) should display only the A7 items associated with that selected A6.5. Since the selector is a page context and…
A reminder of Bulk Copy - Current year to Prior year version for YoY analysis
A quick reminder of the Bulk Copy functionality. Bulk Copy allows you copy large volumes of data from one slice of a model to another in a single, optimised operation, instead of using formulas or imports. Use case: copy a version (RF1) into a prior year version (PY RF1) using a versions list to allow for year-on-year…
