Can we create a sum of average for calculated fields

Question & Answer

Hi,

Is there a way to calculate the sum of average ?
Cumulative_sum_of_average

Here the field, CF = avgOver({CF1},[{Country Code}, Tier, Vendor],POST_AGG_FILTER)
CF1 = sumIf({val1}, {val2}=1)/max({val3})

Since I’ve used avgOver, the Total is also an average of the values while I want it to be added. Tableau has a UI functionality that allows us to calculate GrandTotals/ Subtotals by either adding/ averaging it out. How can we achieve this in Quicksight?

Thanks,
Tanisha

Hi @Tanisha_Shetty
QuickSight does not currently support aggregation type changes for totals. Your best approach is to create your calculation at the dataset level, at the proper granularity. Then in the analysis, you can add the new calculation to the visual as ‘sum’. This should give you the ability to have a summed total.

Hi, I wanted to know if there’s any news about this?
I calculated average daily spend for each day of the month and would like to sum this average to get a smoother version of the average monthly spend.
And if it’s not yet available what do you suggest?
Thanks
