Default help on averaging function

I average patients from the time they are seen in relationship to their
appointments. Some times they are taken in early, some times late, however
the goal is the average of 0. meaning they are taken in on time. ;0)

Actually, yes I am assuming that. In practical terms, it wouldn't make
sense to average both positive and negative numbers and omit zero.


Hi Chip,

Where would zero come into the following?

1st Month: $100 loss
2nd Month: $100 loss
3rd Month: $500 profit

3 monthly average profit would be $100 profit.


Regards
Martin
