Hi, I have a table like this. I wanna have avg of streamed time of all clients, so I add another row with "Group other values in seperate bucket"

I checked the avg but it doesn't create another column, What I'm doing wrong ? Thanx

Hi @Mohammad_Mousavi  
the total function doesn't add a new column, but add a row below the table showing the sum/avg/min/max etc of all the value on each column. In your case this will result in a value that will average the sum of bytes by the number of user\_ids you have in the first column.  
The value should appear in below the column like in this screenshot
