Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Base Reports - Getting Monthly & YTD Averages

Thanks Alex.  The underlying query gets the month from the date, as well as
the total, average, max and min for each month.  The results are, of
course, already grouped & calculated by month.  I was able to get the
overall total, but also wanted to see the overall average, max and min.  I
somehow imagined that it would be a piece of cake.  It looks like Calc is
the better "report tool" in this case.

In Calc, I dragged the query into a spreadsheet, and simply created a
series of formulas to perform the calculations on the results.

If I alter the query, how can I get the overall average, apart from the
monthly averages?

Thanks,
Don
