The expression can use inline functions. For example, to calculate the average over a multivalued column, first use `MV_AVG` to average the multiple values per row, and use the result with the `AVG` function
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```esql
|
||
|
|
FROM employees
|
||
|
|
| STATS avg_salary_change = ROUND(AVG(MV_AVG(salary_change)), 10)
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
| avg_salary_change:double |
