    Average of an unbounded field in a report

    Good morning.



    In a report there is an unbounded field (Text29) that obtains its data by adding 2 fields [CourseMark] and [ExamMark].

    An unbounded field (Text58) is added to the header to receive/calculate the average of the Text29 field.

    The code entered to get the average is: Ave ([Text29])

    The results is a display of an "Enter parameter Value" text box.

    How can I be help please?

    I don't think you can do that, but you should be able to average the combination:

    =Avg(CourseMark + ExamMark)

    That's untested, but give it a try.

    thread: Average of an unbounded field in a report

    I would rephrase my question.

    How can the average of the values in a single field be assertained in a report when that field is the result of calculations of other fields?

    Let me rephrase the answer:

    Sum is no different than Avg.
