Understand statistic options

If a content item or graphic has the Statistic property, you may choose the metric that will be used for the data that is displayed.

• Average

  A type of average that takes into account not only the values of a dataset but also the index weights associated with each value. It is used when different data points have varying degrees of importance or significance.

• Maximum

  The largest or highest value within the time range.

• Minimum

  The smallest or lowest value within the time range.

• Total

  The sum of all stored data values recorded within the time range.

The following additional options are available for the Statistic property for graphics:

• Current

  Returns the most recent value available, regardless of the time range.

• Count

  The numerical tally of stored values within the time range.

• StDev

  A measure of the dispersion or spread of data points within the time range with an index weight applied that indicates the relative significance to each value in a set of values. Values with a higher value for their index weight are considered as more significant to a sample as compared to the other values in a sample.

• First

  The first value that occurs within the time range.
