Q11316 - INFO: GGMOPV
GGMOPV return the Geometric Average (or the optional print value if the total is outside the optional print limits) of all of the values in the date range specified by the GroupOffset and Grouping for the variable.

SYNTAX:

GGMOPV(VarNum,GroupOffset/StartDate,Grouping/EndDate, Decimal_Places, GType) 

VarNum:  The variable number to get the total for.

GroupOffset/StartDate: Used with the Grouping parameter to set the dates to calculate the stat for.  Sets the number of Groups (set by the Grouping Parameter) to be added to set the dates.  See examples below. If this field is a date string (i.e. "07/16/2004") or refers to a cell with a date in it, it is assumed to be the start date to calculate the stat for.

Grouping/EndDate: Used to set which dates to calculate the stat for.  If the Grouping is a date literal string (i.e. "07/16/2004") or refers to a cell with a date in it, it is assumed to be the end date to calculate the stat for. Common Groupings are:

"D" Days
“M” Monthly 
"R" Report Dates

Decimal Places: Sets the number of decimal places to be displayed. For variables with decimal places set to "Not Fixed" click here for additional formatting options.

GType: Sets how zero's are handled in the calculation.

0 - Ignore zeros
1 - Convert 0 to 1
2 - Add one to all
 

Type Values Values Used Result
0 200,0,52,74 200,52,74 91.6
1 200,0,52,74 200,1,52,74 29.6
2 200,0,52,74 201,1,53,75 28.9 (29.9-1)


 

NOTES:

In Design, Spread Reports use Locate, Group Summary to place this formula on a report.

EXAMPLES:

GGMOPV(1,2,"M",0,1) Returns the geometric mean of the values for variable 1, for the 2nd month of the report.  Zero's are converted to 1 before geometric mean is calculated.
