Q12574 - INFO: Combined Group Summary for Multiple Variables

Used to place summary statistics for a date range for a list of variables (i.e. MVSTAT, MVSTATZ functions) on a spread report.  Example:  Used to get, by month, the overall minimum Chlorine Residual in your distribution system where you have a different chlorine residual variable for each location in the system.  

NOTE: Prior to v7.6.1, was known as Multivariable Group Summary.

Fields:

Choose Variables By: Sets how to select the variables to summarize. 

By Selection allows you to use the variable browser to pick the variables to summarize.  Click  to display the variable browser to add variables to the list. 

By Where Clause:  Allows you to enter the Where portion of an SQL Select statement using the Vardesc table (FROM VARDESC) to select the variables.  Examples:  VarNum < 10, STORETCODE = '00310' OR STORETCODE = '80082', NAME LIKE '%TOTAL COLIFORM'

Stat: Sets the summary statistic to use.  Choose one from the following on the dropdown list:

Stat Notes
Avg Average of values
Sum Total of values
Max Maximum value
Max_VarNum Returns the Variable Number of the variable that has the maximum value.
Min Minimum value
Min_VarNum Returns the Variable Number of the variable that has the minimum value.
First First value found by date
First_VarNum The variable number of the variable that is the first value found.
Last Last value found by date
Last_VarNum The variable number of the variable that is the last value found.
GMean1 Returns the Geometric Mean of the values (convert 0 (zeros) to 1)
GMean2 Returns the Geometric Mean of the values (Add one to all if zero found)
GMean3 Returns the Geometric Mean of the values (Ignore zeros)
NOS,Count Retruns the count or number of values found
PERCxx Returns the value at the xx Percentile (i.e. PERC90).
PERAxx Returns the value at the xx Percentile (averages two closest values if exact match not found)
GTx Returns the number of values greater than x (i.e. GT30).
LTx Returns the number of values less than x.
EQx Returns the number of values equal to x
NEx Returns the number of values not equal to x.

Locate Statistic for: Sets the number of values to place and the grouping of the data.  For example, to summarize a column of daily values for one month, enter 1, or, to place a statistic for 12 consecutive months, enter 12.  The drop down list sets the grouping parameter in the Group function (ie GAVG, GMAX).

Group By Description

Grouping
Parameter in Formula

Hours

Group Data by hours (typically used to summarize 15 minute, 1 minute,etc... date)

"H"

Partial Days

Group data by certain hours of the day (i.e. 8AM thru 5PM).  When this option is selected you will be prompted to set the Start Time and Stop Time for the grouping.

"Hx:x"

Days

Group data by days (typically used to summarize data from hourly, 15 Minute, 1 minute, etc... data)

"D"

Months

Group data by months

"M"

Quarters

Group data by entire quarter

"Q"

Semi-Annuals

Group data by Jan - June and July - Dec.

"SA"

Seasons

Group data by Winter, Spring, Summer, Fall

"S"

Years

Group data by Calendar years

"Y"

Year to End Date

Group data from start of year through the end date of the report

"YTD"

Year to Start Date

Group data from start of the year though one day before the start date of the report

"YTBSD"

Moving 12 Month

 Group data by 11 months prior to the Start Date through the end of the month of the start date.

"MAxx"

Moving N Day

Group data by N number of days.  You will be prompted for the number of days.

"MOVx"

Report Dates

Group data from Start Date of report through the End Date of the Report.

"R"

All (1970 - Now)

Calculate Statistic for all data (1970 through the current date)

"A"

Place <, >, or ND Symbol with statistic:  If the variables allow entry of data qualifiers (i.e. <, >, or ND) do you want the symbol to be placed with the calculated statistic. If checked and a statistic that does not find a particular value (i.e. Max, Min, First... find a value, Avg, GeoMean, Total do not) is chosen the following options will be given:

"if one value contains a < or >"
"if all values contain a < or >"
"if half the values are < or >"
"cascade all symbols"

Decimal Places:  The number of digits to show behind the decimal point.  This value will default to the number of decimal places defined in the description of the variable selected.  See Also: Formatting with 'Not Fixed'

Place Data Across: When placing data into the report, locate across columns instead of down rows.  

Locate data backward in time:  If checked, data will be placed for previous time periods instead of next time periods.  For example, if you are locating 12 monthly averages and you want the current month and the previous 11 months you would check this box.

 

Place Start Date of Group: If checked, places the start date of each group beside the data. 

Place End Date of Group: If checked, places the end date of each group beside the data.
