Average Columns
Returns a table that includes a column reflecting the average of two specified columns of a specified table, the average of a specified value and a specified column, or the average of two specified values.
Usage notes
Case 1: Average of two specified columns of a specified table. This is the case if
First Column Name or Numeric Value and
Second Column Name or Numeric Value both specify a column of
Table.
Case 2: Average of a specified value and a specified column. This is the case if one of
First Column Name or Numeric Value and
Second Column Name or Numeric Value specifies a column of
Table and the other specifies a numeric value.
Case 3: Average of two specified values. This is the case if
First Column Name or Numeric Value and
Second Column Name or Numeric Value both specify a numeric value.
In case 1, the nth cell in the returned column corresponds to the nth cell of the table specified by the argument Table. Each cell of the returned column contains the result of computing the average of the corresponding row's cell in First Column Name or Numeric Value and the cell in Second Column Name or Numeric Value.
In case 2, the nth cell in the returned column corresponds to the nth cell of the table specified by the argument Table. Each cell of the returned column contains the result of computing the average of the corresponding row's cell in the specified column and the specified numeric value.
In case 3, each cell of the returned column contains the average of the two specified numeric values.
In the returned table, the average column is preceded by copies of all the columns in Table.
