January 10, 200521 yr Newbies Hello ! I am using some repeating fields (I know it is not the best, but It makes what I need to do much, much clear to work with), and I need to average all the "First repetition" together, all the second ones, and so on, like doing a summary of each one. I don't know how I can do a Summary of repetition fields that is a repetition, too. and if it is not possible, do you know how can I do it? Let me now ! I'll be very greatfull with you help.. Thanks, Vicky

January 10, 200521 yr A summary field which is the average of the repeating_field, in which repetitions are summarized individually.
January 10, 200521 yr Author Newbies That's what I tried, but the summary fields didn't give me the chice to make it a field with repetitions ... Am I doing something wrong?
January 10, 200521 yr It's got to be a repeating field, because how could it summarize the repetitions individually otherwise?
January 10, 200521 yr I'm not sure what transpower is suggesting, but summary fields can't summarize specific repetitions, they summarize all repetitions containing data. You would have to extract each repetition into a separate field and summarize that. Unfortunately, this is about as much work as using individual fields in the first place.
