Hi Mark, It unfortunately doesn’t work like that. It sounds like you are trying to get the average temperatures for all locations, maybe even ordered in a specific way? You can pull those numbers out of MarkLogic, but you will have to get the averages one by one for each location. That doesn’t have to be slow necessarily, but that will scale linearly against the number of locations.
What would you like to do with those numbers? Depending on how you want to use them, there might be different ways of approaching this in a smart way..

I have a custom search returning an average on a variable. However, what is frequently needed is to return the average of a variable across another variable/facet. The tutorial shows how to produce constraints/facets, but doesn't show how to return averages across the constraint/facet. I was hoping that by nesting the code, the appropriate average would be returned, but the server seems to just ignore the average request (see below). What am I doing wrong? xdmp:document-insert("/Default/climate/rest-api/options/tutorial.xml", <search:options xmlns:search="http://marklogic.com/appservices/search";> <search:constraint name="location"> <search:range type="xs:string" facet="true" collation="http://marklogic.com/collation/";> <search:element ns="http://data/"; name="LOCATION_ID" <search:values name="temperature"> <search:range type="xs:int"> <search:element ns="http://data/"; name="TEMPERATURE_READING"/> </search:range> <search:aggregate apply="avg"/> </search:values> </search:element> </search:range> </search:constraint> </search:options> ) Thanks.
