Why not use:

=If ( [State] = ”California” Or [State] = “New York” ) Then Average([Sales Revenue]) Else Sum([Sales Revenue])

For example take efashion unv

The prompt is on state:
If the user selects
California
New York
Massachusetts
Texas

The user reponse value will be stored as california;new york;massachusetts;texas

My requirement is if for california or newyork the aggregation on sales revenue should be average and sum on the other two states.

Code:
=If(UserResponse(”State:”)=”California” Or UserResponse(”State:”)=”New york” ) Then Average([Sales Revenue]) Else Sum([Sales Revenue])

this formula is not working , iam getting aggregation for sum under sales revenue column as it is taking the else part

Is there something to do user response function because it returns values as california;new york;massachusetts;texas

could you please post the correct formula

State Sales Revenue
California
New York
Massachusetts
Texas

it is really urgent so iam posting here for your advise

Since this is not related to the topic of this post I would suggest that you please consider posting this on BOB where you will have more eyes and brains working on your question. Please include how you are defining the prompt. Also I am not sure why you are using the Match() function since there is no need for wildcards.

Hi, this really doesn’t have anything to do with this post. Despite that, here’s a thought. Make two variables, one that does a sum() and one that does an average(). Then use an “If” statement to swap out the appropriate variable based on the value of column one.

I have a report with 2 columns based on the data in the first column i need to perform either sum or average for the next column

For example for c1 the aggregation for the next column should be average
c2 the aggregation for the next column should be sum …..so on

I have created a variable v1 for user response value on column1

is there a way where i can mention if v1= c1,c3,c5,c7 then do sum
else average on the column2

Hi, Lauren, thanks for your question. All you have to do is use the Replace() function and substitute the , for the ; instead of the CR/LF combination I showed in the post. This should do it: =Replace(UserResponse("Car Makers");";";",")

If I want all of the values on one line as shown below…

XYZ123ABC;DEF456HIJ;BOB111BOB

…is there a way to replace the “;” delimiter with a “,”

Great tip!! was actually looking to build a multi-line address variable and couldn’t recall the syntax for inserting CR/LF between each element
