    RamaKrishna8989 This is merely showing you what the results are for each individual event if it were its own column.  It's not saying that the outcome of mixed formatted records in a column would automatically calculate the specific output as it is listed in that table. Below is an example of what I mean:

     

    1. The column True/False is boolean structured. Therefore TRUE = 1 and FALSE = 0.

    2. The column 1/0 has a blank, a zero and ones.  The output is the Measure 1/0s which aligns to the AVERAGEA output.  

     

     

    Hope this makes sense.
