Average Day Range

[Noreen]

NormallyI am using formulas to summary something like countifs, sum,average by column and it is very easyto have a fixed column range. Now, It's my first time to have a horizontally tabulated data and I want to get the average TAT within a row and make a fix range so that It will get the new columns being added.

I'm trying include a date range with counting the number of applicants within various depts, in certain date ranges, but it's saying incorrect argument set. =COUNTIFS(DISTINCT([Name of Requestor]:[Name of Requestor], [Submission Date]:[Submission Date], AND(@cell > DATE (2023, 9, 30), @cell

What I am trying to do here is take the average values of each categories per seven days and average them. Is this possible? I.e. I would like to take the measurement of weight in lbs from days 1-7 and average that giving the result in another column, then for 8-14, 15-21, etc . . . I want to do this also for the columns as well. So far I cannot find a way to do this.

I'm trying to find a neat formula to collect an average for all values corresponding to an arbitrary year, I have a column with dates and a column of corresponding values. I have a separate indata cell with the relevant year.

Basically, what I want to do is to collect values from all cells that corresponds to the date cells for my selected year and calculate the average of all the collected values. Note that I want to use entire columns as the range expands continuously.

I've tried your formula with some success, although I'm struggling a bit with the year criterion. I've managed to insert a lower limit and would like to complete it with an upper limit as well. Se figure below for formulas.

@Wondimagegn I had a similar problem, which I solved from this video. =XIhbL20jTHc

In the video, the case for sumifs is used. Averageifs is same as sumifs. Beaware of using logical operators when dealing with date data.

I hope it helps!

I'm new to the forum but have been usng Power BI and DAX for a while, and was hoping to expand my knowledge! I'm basically trying to create an average of a moving range, which is essentially an average of the outcome of a measure that has been applied month on month if that makes sense?

The final piece of the puzzle is that I would like to create an average of the moving range which should give me something like this (in red is the measure I'm trying to create);

Which in simple terms is just AVERAGE([Moving Range]). However I know AVERAGE() gives errors in DAX when I try and do this. Does anyone have any suggestions?

But the far left average point on January 17th should not be equal the data point shown on the bar. Instead, it should be below it, as can be seen in the left hand visual at Rolling average comparison

Hello @michalc, yes, I think you are on the right track. If you are going to calculate the running sum in the SQL query, then I think it would be best to change the daily sum aggregation to SQL as well.

For the 2021 model year, the median driving range of all-electric vehicles (EV) was 234 miles while the median range for gasoline vehicles was 403 miles. Although this is a sizeable difference, EV ranges have been increasing rapidly. While the maximum range for any EV offered in the 2021 model year was 405 miles, there are already EV models offered for the 2022 model year achieving a maximum range of more than 500 miles. As more long range EVs become available, the discrepancy in range between gasoline powered vehicles and EVs is likely to continue to narrow.

Note: Range for EVs is based on Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates for a single charge. Range for gasoline vehicles is based on tank size and EPA combined fuel economy rating.

Trying to perform a moving average over a range of dates for a specific value. In the example data set attached, the range between Finish and Start Date-Time is 15 days. Step one involves a moving average using one of the value columns (i.e. Value1) using values in rows between the Finish and the Start dates. You will see there is not a consistent number of records to average over by date. This step I can't quite figure out. The output must calculate back from the Finish Date over the last 15 days. I.e. For row 1, the average is equal to just the value for that day. Once there are over 15 days, use data only within the 15 day window.

There are a few ways to achieve the desired result here, I choose to use a Batch Macro. What this macro does is for each day (control parameter), it matches all the relevant date records (last 15 days), and averages all the values during that time period.

Your solution had the same problem I struggled to accurately calculate averages over a group. It is not simply taking averages of averages. If one changes the 'Count = 1' to a summarized count of the number of entries for the day, your solution is closer but still not accurate. Here is a link to a more rigorous explanation of why an average of averages is not correct. I did learn one technique from your solution - so thanks.

That works without problem. But what do I do if I want to calculate the moving average for a period of 365 days? Do I really need to add 365 rows to the average function ([Row-364:Headcount] until [Headcount])? That would be extremely tiresome.

A more dynamic way would be to use a multi-row formula to count the number of values you want to include in your moving average and then a running total tool to work out the sum and divide the two numbers. You can follow the same principle if you have 365 days in your dataset

I'm looking for a relatively easy way to change the number of rows that should be included in the calculation of the moving average, in case I need the moving average for 100 days, 200 days, 365 days or another period of time.

The workflow is flexible to calculate the moving average every any period, depending on which fields you have selected to group by. If you look at the multi-row formula tool and the Running total tool, both are configured to group by year.

That was just done to display what's possible with the workflow and how you can do that. If you don't want to group on each year (so the calc doesn't restart then) all you need to do is unselect the tickbox.

I've managed to solve the problem using the Batch Macro workflow from CharlieS though Here's the link to his post in another thread: Link I wonder if CharlieS's solution might the same that Seb suggested, but which I unfortunately couldn't try.

@Degas that error message is because Seb is using a more recent version of Alteryx than you do, and that's what causing the error message to pop up. If you click yes that should allow you to open the workflow in your version.

Does the text editor trick always work or is it possible that I run into problems if I do this (for example if a workflow that was created with a newer version uses tools that don't exist in my old version)?

@Degas it has never happened to me but yes it's a hacky way and not supported officially by Alteryx, although I've seen many people using it. Something to note, if your workflow uses macros, then you should do the same to the macros as well, so everything should be in the same version to play along.

When submitting Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA) Section 312 Tier II reports, does the owner or operator of the facility need to enter a specific weight in pounds for the maximum amount and the average daily amount of a certain hazardous chemical present at the facility, or should the owner or operator solely enter a range code for these amounts?

EPA recognizes that the actual amount of a hazardous chemical present at a facility is the most useful information for effective planning and response by the Local or Tribal Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC or TEPC). However, EPCRA Section 312(d)(1) and (2) specifically states that the maximum amount and average daily amount can be reported in ranges and, therefore, EPA only requires the owner or operator to enter ranges for both the maximum amount and average daily amount of the hazardous chemical on Tier II inventory forms. See 40 CFR 370.43. The range codes are also provided on the first page of the Tier II form.

Average true range (ATR) is a technical analysis volatility indicator originally developed by J. Welles Wilder, Jr. for commodities.[1][2] The indicator does not provide an indication of price trend, simply the degree of price volatility.[3]The average true range is an N-period smoothed moving average (SMMA) of the true range values. Wilder recommended a 14-period smoothing.[4]

The idea of ranges is that they show the commitment or enthusiasm of traders. Large or increasing ranges suggest traders prepared to continue to bid up or sell down a stock through the course of the day. Decreasing range suggests waning interest.

Since true range and ATR are calculated by subtracting prices, the volatility they compute does not change when historical prices are back-adjusted by adding or subtracting a constant to every price. Back-adjustments are often employed when splicing together individual monthly futures contracts to form a continuous futures contract spanning a long period of time. However the standard procedures used to compute volatility of stock prices, such as the standard deviation of logarithmic price ratios, are not invariant (to addition of a constant). Thus futures traders and analysts typically use one method (ATR) to calculate volatility, while stock traders and analysts typically use standard deviation of log price ratios.

Apart from being a trend strength gauge, ATR serves as an element of position sizing in financial trading. Current ATR value (or a multiple of it) can be used as the size of the potential adverse movement (stop-loss distance) when calculating the trade volume based on trader's risk tolerance. In this case, ATR provides a self-adjusting risk limit dependent on the market volatility for strategies without a fixed stop-loss placement.[6]
