Hi,

I am trying to get averages of multiple columns and the issue is when i apply avg["seclected column"] its using the 0's( i have replaced missing values with 0). I dont want this to effect my averages. How can i ignore those while i calucate my averages. I tried to use the below expression

avg(if(["selected column"] !=0)) but this does not work.

Can you please provide some suggestions on this

Try

Avg(If([value]=0,NULL,[value]))

when you set it to NULL the Avg ignores it (so you are effectively temporarily undoing your imputation)

The if function works as

if(expression, value if true, value if false)

you can see the help when you select the function in the calculated column editor.
