thank kris, the problem i am having is that all the information i find is always centered around getting a median using every single row in the table. except i have groups of data in the table and want to work out a median for each group. the group is identified by 4 different columns (the 5th column is what i want to get the median on but for each group not the entire table) and i want to produce a resulting table that has 1 row for each group and therefore contains the median value for the group instead of the individual numbers that it currently has.
e.g. the current table is like this column1 column2 column3 column 4 column5(i need the mean of this) value 1 value 2 value 3 value 4 1.2 value 1 value 2 value 3 value 4 1.0 value 1 value 2 value 3 value 4 1.5 value 2 value 3 value 4 value 5 0.2 value 2 value 3 value 4 value 5 0.4 etc... and i need a query to get the results to show like this column1 column2 column3 column 4 column5(i need the mean of this) value 1 value 2 value 3 value 4 1.0 value 2 value 3 value 4 value 5 0.3 etc... This is driving me crazy and i will be very helpful if anyone can help ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Create Web Applications With ColdFusion MX7 & Flex 2.
