Non classic average calculation
- 1 year ago
Hello al1981 ,
To calculate a more accurate "average activity per active day" across employees, you should use a weighted average formula:
Weighted Average = Activity*Active Days /Active Days
This will account for differences in the number of days employees were active and therefore provide a more balanced view of the average activity.
In your example:
- Employee 1: 7.06×18.00=127.087.06 \times 18.00 = 127.087.06×18.00=127.08
- Employee 2: 7.00×16.00=112.007.00 \times 16.00 = 112.007.00×16.00=112.00
- Employee 3: 6.24×18.75=117.006.24 \times 18.75 = 117.006.24×18.75=117.00
Sum of weighted activities: 127.08+112.00+117.00=356.08
Sum of active days: 18.00+16.00+18.75=52.75
So, the weighted average activity would be= 356.08/52.75 = 6.75
This is closer to the second value you mentioned, and it's more accurate because it takes into account the different active days for each employee.
