I am interested in calculating the Average Terms a faculty is associated with a student. In the above example the average terms for fac id 1 is 3 for 2 it is 5, for 3 it is 7 and for 4 it is 3.
Formula used is Sum(Count(Terms))/Count(Student ID) for every Faculty ID.
I have other category variables associated with the student id and faculty id and hence want to calculate the item dynamically instead of aggregating the dataset prior ro bringing it into VA 7.3.
Thanks for your responses.
Hi there. I think I have this figured out.
I used your data. These are the steps that I took:
I was able to create the results you were looking for.
Cheers, Roger
