# avg
|
|
|
|
Calculates the arithmetic mean.
|
|
|
|
**Syntax**
|
|
|
|
``` sql
|
|
avg(x)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Arguments**
|
|
|
|
- `x` — input values, must be [Integer](../../../sql-reference/data-types/int-uint.md), [Float](../../../sql-reference/data-types/float.md), or [Decimal](../../../sql-reference/data-types/decimal.md).
|
|
|
|
**Returned value**
|
|
|
|
- The arithmetic mean, always as [Float64](../../../sql-reference/data-types/float.md).
|
|
- `NaN` if the input parameter `x` is empty.
|
|
|
|
**Example**
|
|
|
|
Query:
|
|
|
|
``` sql
|
|
SELECT avg(x) FROM values('x Int8', 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Result:
|
|
|
|
``` text
|
|
┌─avg(x)─┐
|
|
│ 2.5 │
|
|
└────────┘
|
|
```
|

**Example**
|
|
|
|
Create a temp table:
|
|

Query:
|
|
|
|
``` sql
|
|
CREATE table test (t UInt8) ENGINE = Memory;
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Get the arithmetic mean:
|
|
|
|
Query:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
SELECT avg(t) FROM test;
|
|
```
|
|
