Hi I have a scenario where I want to plot a graph for 90 day stats with a reference line displaying average of last 14 days.

Dimension: date_field

measure: Stat_vale

reference line: Last 14 day stat avg


ex table:

date:8/10 stat_value: 100

date:8/11 stat_value: 200

date:8/12 stat_value: 1000




Please help

Hi @nbk11kk,


You can use a table calculation (in the Calculations tab above your results table) to produce a reference line:

mean(if(row()<=14, ${stat_value}, null))


Make sure that your date_field dimension is ordered with the latest dates at the top.


Thanks Chris…what if I want to ignore weekends from last 14 days.Is that possible to achieve in table calculations

Hi @nbk11kk,


Would it satisfy your use case to filter out weekends from the results entirely? If so, you can make date_field a dimension_group and filter on day_of_week or day_of_week_index: https://docs.looker.com/reference/field-params/dimension_group

Thank you so much
