LineAverage

LineAverage

This is the user report line average balance function. It returns the daily average balance for a user report line during a given month.

LineAverage(UserRpt, LineCode, AvgBalDate, Company, PosNeg, StartDate)

Example Usage

=LineAverage("BALCON", "A01", "7/31/2009") Returns the daily average balance for line A01 of the BALCON user report during the month of July, 2009.
=LineAverage("BALCON", "A01", "3/17/2009", , "C") Returns 'Debit Balance' because the daily average balance for line A01 of the BALCON user report during the month of March 2009 is a debit balance and the "C" in our formula told Excel to only display the balance if it was a credit. See below for more information about the PosNeg parameter.
- Note the extra comma between the AvgBalDate and the PosNeg parameter. That must be included because the Company parameter is not specified.
=LineAverage("BALCON", "A01", "6/30/2009", , , "1/1/2009") Returns the daily average balance for line A01 of the BALCON user report during the first two quarters of 2009.
- Note the two extra commas between the AvgBalDate and the StartDate. They must be included because the Company and PosNeg parameters are not specified.

PosNeg

Limit results to Positive, Negative, Debit, or Credit only. You may spell out or abbreviate Positive, Negative, Debit, and Credit if you would like to make your formula more readable; the function performs a match on the first character only.

When evaluating numeric formulas such as SUM, Excel treats text as 0. This makes it possible to use this PosNeg parameter to include results of GL formulas in your other Excel formulas only in specific circumstances.

"P"  Show balance only if positive, otherwise display:           Neg Balance
"N"  Show balance only if negative, otherwise display:           Pos Balance
"D"  Show positive number if debit balance, otherwise display:   Credit Balance
"C"  Show positive number if credit balance, otherwise display:  Debit Balance
