This function performs a rolling calculation from column to column with the specified aggregation.
Syntax:
RollingPeriods, Column, 0, stepBy, count, aggregation
Parameters:axis – which axis will be used { Column }
param1 – unused { 0 }
stepBy – direction of the aggregation { 1 for forward, -1 for backward }
count – number of values to be used in each aggregation
aggregation – the aggregation to be used { Average, Sum, Maximum, Minimum, Median }
Examples:
RollingPeriods,Column,0,1,2,Sum
Calculates the Sum of each column plus the column immediately to the right.
RollingPeriods,Column,0,-1,3,Average
Calculates the average over 3 periods (to the left) starting at column 0 and stepping 1 column at a time.
Comments:
When performing backwards averaging, the first columns are not complete count-period averages, so you may want to remove them so the report is not misleading.
Blank cells are evaluated as zero for Sums and Averages.
