I have created a training feedback form.

The table name is zero_FB.. I have multiple questions which are rated on a scale of 1 to 4

I have an average field which is not visible on the add form, however i want this field to display the average score of the feedback which will be an average of all the points selected on the add form.

If you are talking about several fields you can use a simple calculated field in SQL query i.e.

select ...

(field1+field2+field3+field4)/4 as average

from ...


Then you can display average field on list/view pages.

thankyou for your reply admin
please help me understand this further..

The field on the db where i want average calculated is "average" and the table name is zero_FB
my current query without any calculations is

SELECT

Location,

[Trainer Name],

[Batch ID/Number],

[Training Start Date],

[Training End Date],

[Training Name/Type],

Process,

[course materials relevance],

[material helpful],

[training period],

[focus on culture language],

[practice exercises],

[resources and tools],

[customer service techniques],

Comments

FROM [30_FB]
so will the new query look like
SELECT

Location,

[Trainer Name],

[Batch ID/Number],

[Training Start Date],

[Training End Date],

[Training Name/Type],

Process,

[course materials relevance],

[material helpful],

[training period],

[focus on culture language],

[practice exercises],

[resources and tools],

[customer service techniques],

Comments

FROM [zero_FB]

select average

(field1+field2+field3+field4)/4

from zero_FB

You don't need a field named average. It will be calculated on the fly:

SELECT

Location,

[Trainer Name],

[Batch ID/Number],

[Training Start Date],

[Training End Date],

[Training Name/Type],

Process,

[course materials relevance],

[material helpful],

[training period],

[focus on culture language],

[practice exercises],

[resources and tools],

[customer service techniques],

Comments,

(field1+field2+field3+field4)/4 as average

from zero_FB
