Example

Formula	Result	Application
= Average({Brazil\|BCA}, SetPeriod(2000,2010))	The mean value of the Brazil\|BCA series observations is calculated for the period from 2000 to 2010.	It can be used in formulas of calculated series of time series database and in formulas of attribute-based models of modeling container.
= Average(X1,X2,False)	The mean of X1 and X2 factor points is calculated taking into account empty values.	It is used in model variable-based formulas of modeling container.
= Average(1, 2, 3, 4)	2.5	It can be used in any expressions.
