Apply an aggregate function

You can assign an aggregate function to columns that contain numeric and non-numeric values in your report. Aggregate functions return a single value calculated from the values in a column.

1. Click the Down Arrow next to a report column that contains numeric values.
2. Select Aggregation from the menu, then choose the aggregation type. These types are described in the following table:

   Function Name	Description
   None	No aggregate function assigned
   Average	Calculates the average value in a given column
   Count	Counts the items in a column; does not require a numeric value
   Count Distinct	Counts the distinct occurrences of a certain value in a column; does not require a numeric value
   Maximum	Identifies the highest or largest value in a column
   Minimum	Identifies the lowest or smallest value in a column
   Sum	Calculates a running total sum of the specified column

3. Save the report.
