Formulas: Mean(), Median(), and Mode()
Category: Math
Provides the average (or mean) of a list of numbers
Another way to say it...
Hey Coda, will you calculate the average from this list of numbers? Pulls the median value from a list of numbers or times
Or, as one might say...
Hey Coda, from lowest to highest, which one is in the middle? Pulls the most frequently occurring value from a list
Said differently...
Hey Coda, which value from this list occurs most frequently?
All three formulas share the same, single parameter:
Value
Average(Value)
A list, usually of numbers.
Average (mean), median, and mode...did anyone else learn terrible songs to memorize these terms with while in school? These mathematical functions help you understand large pools of data, and they’re great for statistics. So how can they help you in Coda? One common use for these is in dashboards. Dashboards—nifty pages where a summary of data is made simple and visually attractive.
Let’s use Average(), Median() and Mode() with an existing dataset to create our own, simplified dashboard.
