    create an agregate in a calculated field?

    How do you create an agregate in a calculated field?
    E.g
    New calculated field:
    =Avg(Fields!x.Value, "datasetname")

    In another thread (http://www.sqlteam.com/forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=117174) visakh helped me create average columns instead of subtotals, using:
    =IIF(Inscope("matrix1_Time"),Fields!x.Value,Avg(Fi elds!x.Value))

    I am trying to apply this to a column already containing an average, so I get an error saying aggregates cannot be nested.
    E.g.
    =IIF(Inscope("matrix1_Time"),Fields!x.Value,Avg(Av g(Fields!x.Value)))
    If I could place average in calculated field I might be able to refer to it instead, e.g:
    =IIF(Inscope("matrix1_Time"),Fields!x.Value,Avg(Ca lculatedField)))

    Or any other suggestions?

    What is the Targeted Data source?

    Are you hitting an Analysis Services data source, by any chance? MDX would offer some great options here ...

    Thanks.
