Moving/Rolling Average in Ms Access Query

[CliffKing]

Hi,

Is there a way i can compute a moving/rolling average in ms access?

I have this excel spreadsheet (see below) and i would like to automate
it in ms access

%Change = (C5-D5)/D5

4WKAvg = SUM(E2:E5)/4
SUM(E3:E6)/4 Please note that the sum
SUM(E4:E7)/4 keeps moving down

(SELECT Avg((CY-LY)/LY)
FROM table_name
WHERE Type=A.Type

Correction:

The main query doesn't need the GROUP BY line.

The sql to the query is:

SELECT example.Type, example.Wk, example.CY, example.LY,
([cy]-[ly])/[ly] AS PctChange, (SELECT Avg(([CY]-[LY])/[LY]) FROM
example WHERE [Type] =
[TYPE] AND [Wk] BETWEEN ([Wk]-5 and [Wk]-1)) AS AvgPrev4Weeks
FROM example;

where am i going wrong? thanks

You're leaving out the table alias "A." on the WK column and the Type
column in the subquery. Try this:

SELECT Type, WK, CY, LY, (CY-LY)/LY As PctChange,

(SELECT Avg((CY-LY)/LY)
FROM example
WHERE Type=A.Type
AND WK BETWEEN A.WK-5 And A.WK-1) As AvgPrev4Weeks

FROM example AS A

ORDER BY Type, WK
