Averaging a date value
In our dataset we have a driving date of greg_d, but also have other date values for things like sales start and end. These values can change based on program changes and in order to see these changes I wanted to calculate an average sales start and end date associated with each greg_d. Is this something that is possible?
Thanks,
Adam

Hi @user02674
Domo doesn't handle the average of date objects with a simple AVG function. You'll need to convert it to a unix timestamp (number of seconds since 1-1-1970), grab the average and then convert it back.
DATE(FROM_UNIXTIME(AVG(UNIX_TIMESTAMP(`start_date`))))
This is assuming your data is recording a record for each change of start / end date for the greg_d dates.
