SQL AVG() with ROUND(), group by

AVG() with ROUND() and group by

In this page, we are going to discuss the usage of SQL ROUND() along with the SQL AVG() function. The SQL ROUND() is used to round the value up to a specific decimal places.

The GROUP BY clause with aggregate function makes the result within a group.

Examples:

To get the average of 'outstanding_amount' as a whole number that means rounded by zero from the 'customer' table, the following SQL statement can be used:


SELECT ROUND(AVG(outstanding_amt), 0) AS "Rounded Avg."  -- Calculates the average of 'outstanding_amt' and rounds it to 0 decimal places, aliasing the result as "Rounded Avg."
FROM customer;  -- Specifies the 'customer' table as the source of data

Explanation:

  • SELECT ROUND(AVG(outstanding_amt), 0) AS "Rounded Avg.": This part of the query calculates the average of the 'outstanding_amt' column in the 'customer' table using the AVG() function. The result is then rounded to 0 decimal places using the ROUND() function. The alias "Rounded Avg." is assigned to this calculated average.
  • FROM customer: This specifies the source of the data for the query, which is the 'customer' table. The FROM keyword is used to indicate the table from which the data will be selected. In this case, it selects data from the 'customer' table.

Output:

Rounded Avg.

To get the data of 'agent_code', average of 'advance_amount' for each agent from the 'orders' table with the following condition -

1. each agent_code must be in a group,

the following SQL statement can be used:


SELECT agent_code, AVG(advance_amount)  -- Selects the agent_code and calculates the average advance_amount for each agent
FROM orders  -- Specifies the 'orders' table as the source of data
GROUP BY agent_code;  -- Groups the result set by the agent_code

Explanation:

  • SELECT agent_code, AVG(advance_amount): This part of the query selects the 'agent_code' column and calculates the average 'advance_amount' for each agent. The AVG() function calculates the average value of the 'advance_amount' column within each group of rows sharing the same 'agent_code'.
  • FROM orders: This specifies the source of the data for the query, which is the 'orders' table. The FROM keyword is used to indicate the table from which the data will be selected. In this case, it selects data from the 'orders' table.
  • GROUP BY agent_code: This clause groups the result set by the 'agent_code' column. The GROUP BY clause is used to aggregate the rows based on the values in the 'agent_code' column. This means that calculations performed in the SELECT statement (such as the average calculation) will be applied separately for each unique value in the 'agent_code' column.

Output:

AGENT_CODE AVG(ADVANCE_AMOUNT)

To get the data of 'agent_code', sum of 'opening_amt' with a heading 'Op. Amt' and average of 'outstanding_amount' as a whole number i.e. rounded zero (0) with a heading 'Rou. Avg.' for each agent from the 'customer' table with the following condition -

1. each agent should come in a group,

the following SQL statement can be used :


SELECT agent_code,  -- Selects the agent_code column
SUM(opening_amt) AS "Op. Amt.",  -- Calculates the sum of opening_amt for each agent and aliases the result as "Op. Amt."
ROUND(AVG(outstanding_amt), 0) AS "Rou. Avg."  -- Calculates the average of outstanding_amt for each agent, rounds it to 0 decimal places, and aliases the result as "Rou. Avg."
FROM customer  -- Specifies the 'customer' table as the source of data
GROUP BY agent_code;  -- Groups the result set by the agent_code

Explanation:

  • SELECT agent_code: This part of the query selects the 'agent_code' column.
  • SUM(opening_amt) AS "Op. Amt.": This calculates the sum of the 'opening_amt' column for each agent. The SUM() function aggregates the values of 'opening_amt' within each group of rows with the same 'agent_code'. The result is aliased as "Op. Amt.".
  • ROUND(AVG(outstanding_amt), 0) AS "Rou. Avg.": This calculates the average of the 'outstanding_amt' column for each agent. The AVG() function computes the average value of 'outstanding_amt' within each group of rows with the same 'agent_code'. The ROUND() function then rounds this average to 0 decimal places. The result is aliased as "Rou. Avg.".
  • FROM customer: This specifies the source of the data for the query, which is the 'customer' table.
  • GROUP BY agent_code: This groups the result set by the 'agent_code' column. The GROUP BY clause is used to aggregate the rows based on the values in the 'agent_code' column. This means that calculations performed in the SELECT statement will be applied separately for each unique value in the 'agent_code' column.

Output:

AGENT_CODE   Op. Amt.  Rou. Avg.
---------- ---------- ----------
A002            22000      10667
A004            25000       8000

A011             5000       8000
A012             5000       3000
A010            22000       9333

To get the average of '(879.254/2)' with a heading 'My Avg' and the average of '(879.254/2)' rounded up to the 1 decimal place negative from the decimal point with a heading 'Rounded -1 Decimal Place' from the 'customer', the following SQL statement can be used:


SELECT AVG(879.254 / 2) AS "My Avg.",  -- Calculates the average of the expression 879.254 divided by 2 and aliases the result as "My Avg."
ROUND(AVG(879.254 / 2), -1) AS "Rounded -1 Decimal Place"  -- Calculates the average of the same expression, then rounds the result to the nearest ten (-1 decimal places) and aliases the result as "Rounded -1 Decimal Place"
FROM customer;  -- Specifies the 'customer' table as the source of data

Explanation:

  • SELECT AVG(879.254 / 2) AS "My Avg.": This part of the query calculates the average of the expression 879.254 / 2. The result of this expression is the average of 879.254 divided by 2. The AVG() function computes the average value of this expression across all rows in the 'customer' table. The result is aliased as "My Avg.".
  • ROUND(AVG(879.254 / 2), -1) AS "Rounded -1 Decimal Place": This calculates the average of the same expression (879.254 / 2) as before. However, the result is then rounded to the nearest ten (-1 decimal places) using the ROUND() function. The ROUND() function rounds the average to the nearest integer when the second argument is negative. The result is aliased as "Rounded -1 Decimal Place".
  • FROM customer: This specifies the source of the data for the query, which is the 'customer' table.

Output:

  My Avg. Rounded -1 Decimal Place

To get the average of '(879.254/2)' with a heading 'My Avg' and the average of '(879.254/2)' rounded up to the 2 decimal place positive from the decimal point with a heading 'Rounded 2 Decimal Place' from the 'customer' table, the following SQL statement can be used :


SELECT AVG(879.254 / 2) AS "My Avg.",  -- Calculates the average of the expression 879.254 divided by 2 and aliases the result as "My Avg."
ROUND(AVG(879.254 / 2), 2) AS "Rounded 2 Decimal Place"  -- Calculates the average of the same expression, then rounds the result to 2 decimal places and aliases the result as "Rounded 2 Decimal Place"
FROM customer;  -- Specifies the 'customer' table as the source of data

Explanation:

  • SELECT AVG(879.254 / 2) AS "My Avg.": This part of the query calculates the average of the expression 879.254 / 2. The result of this expression is the average of 879.254 divided by 2. The AVG() function computes the average value of this expression across all rows in the 'customer' table. The result is aliased as "My Avg.".
  • ROUND(AVG(879.254 / 2), 2) AS "Rounded 2 Decimal Place": This calculates the average of the same expression (879.254 / 2) as before. However, the result is then rounded to 2 decimal places using the ROUND() function. The ROUND() function rounds the average to the nearest integer when the second argument is positive and specifies the number of decimal places to round to. The result is aliased as "Rounded 2 Decimal Place".
  • FROM customer: This specifies the source of the data for the query, which is the 'customer' table.

Output:

   My Avg. Rounded 2 Decimal Place

To get the average of '(879.254/2)' and the average of '(879.254/2)' rounded up to the 0 th decimal place with a heading 'Rounded' from the 'customer' table, the following SQL statement can be used :


SELECT AVG(879.254/2),  -- Calculates the average of the expression 879.254 divided by 2
ROUND(AVG(879.254/2), 0) AS "Rounded"  -- Calculates the average of the same expression, then rounds the result to 0 decimal places and aliases the result as "Rounded"
FROM customer;  -- Specifies the 'customer' table as the source of data

Explanation:

  • SELECT AVG(879.254/2): This part of the query calculates the average of the expression 879.254 / 2. The result of this expression is the average of 879.254 divided by 2. The AVG() function computes the average value of this expression across all rows in the 'customer' table.
  • ROUND(AVG(879.254/2), 0) AS "Rounded": This calculates the average of the same expression (879.254 / 2) as before. However, the result is then rounded to 0 decimal places using the ROUND() function. The ROUND() function rounds the average to the nearest integer when the second argument is 0. The result is aliased as "Rounded".
  • FROM customer: This specifies the source of the data for the query, which is the 'customer' table.

Output:

AVG(879.254/2)    Rounded
