<strong>BMC</strong> <strong>Remedy</strong> <strong>Action</strong> <strong>Request</strong> <strong>System</strong> <strong>7.6.04</strong><br />

180 <strong>BMC</strong> <strong>Remedy</strong> <strong>Mid</strong> <strong>Tier</strong> Guide<br />

Average—Calculates the average of specified fields.<br />

Minimum—Calculates the minimum value for a specified field.<br />

Maximum—Calculates the maximum value for a specified field.<br />

Except for Count, these operations can be applied only to numeric and date/time<br />

fields. Each operation can apply to the whole report, or to a group of requests in a<br />

report. Groups are defined in the Sorting tab.<br />

2 From the Expression field, select a field from the menu list to include as part of a<br />

statistic.<br />

An expression is required for all statistical operations except Count. Whether you<br />

include an expression for a Count operation depends on how you want rows with<br />

null values to be counted.<br />

If you are defining a Count operation that includes an expression, only rows with<br />

a value that is not null for the specified expression are counted when the report is<br />

run. If you are defining a Count operation that does not include an expression, all<br />

rows returned are counted, including those with null values.<br />

The menu list displays all numeric or date fields in the form. Expressions can<br />

include any of the following values:<br />

Numeric fields<br />

Date fields<br />

Status history fields<br />

Keywords<br />

The most commonly used keywords are $DATE$, $NULL$, $TIME$,<br />

$TIMESTAMP$, $USER$, and $WEEKDAY$. Keywords are case-sensitive and must<br />

be entered in all capital letters. For a complete list of AR <strong>System</strong> keywords, see<br />

the Workflow Objects Guide, “Keywords,” page 221.<br />

NOTE<br />

For reports to run properly in a browser, you must add a backslash to the keyword<br />

in the Expression field, for example, $\TIMESTAMP$.<br />

Numbers<br />

You can type numbers directly into the Expression field, for example, 5.25, 33,<br />

and so on.<br />

Arithmetic operators (+, -, *, /, and %)<br />

You can type arithmetic operators directly into the Expression field, similar to<br />

the way they are entered in the advanced search bar.<br />

3 In the Label field, type the label to identify a statistic on the report.
