SmartList Analyzer
HelpID: 502622057
SmartList Analyzer adds to SmartList the ability to perform calculations and analytical functions on the columns of data in the SmartList window.
Available functions are:
- Sum – adds all numbers in a column
- Average – add all numbers in a column and divides by the number of records
- Mode – finds the most frequently occurring value
- Standard Deviation – calculates the statistical amount of variance in the numbers in a column
- Frequency – calculates the frequency with which each value appears in the column.
The Mode and Frequency functions work on all types of data, whereas the Sum, Average, and Standard Deviation functions work only with numeric data.
SmartList Analyzer can also add Calculated Columns to any existing SmartList Favorite.
