Additional sections to the Summarise Tool

[PeterV]

Hi,

Would it be possible to add additional sections to the 'Summarise Tool' such as one for dates so that you might be able to group by Year, Month, Quarter, Week or a combination of all these. There are other extensions that could also be considered such as group with nulls or without that would make this tool far more usable and not dependent on data manipulation prior to it; you might offer to have all nulls grouped and called something else for readability and this shouldn't be very hard at all to implement.

Kind regards,

Peter

Great idea.

Hi,

Just using the Summarize Tool this morning (tempted to ask for it to be spelt properly but perhaps that is a UK-centric point...) but have thought of numerous other great additions like 'count if not 0' which leads to a 'non-zero average'.......

So apparently 10 Stars are needed for consideration so please help me and others out......

Kind regards,

Peter

A group by common date parts would be really helpful and would remove the need to use a formula before hand
