and now it works! ha-ha
Thank you, Clive! You helped me a lot!

Hello,
Its always easier if you can provide the actual data or an example, what format is the "weeks" column in, is it a timestamp, a week number etc....
Would my datatable look like this?
let t = datatable (Value:int, Weight:int, Week:string)
[
20,1,"Week1",
40,2,"Week2",
90,3,"Week3",
];
I assume you want to see a line that says:
Project <weighted avg>, <week name or number>

How about this?
The screenshot really helped, however you could have pasted the query and a line of data into this message as text, to save anybody having to re-type it, copy & paste is easier :-) This just helps us to help you faster, especially on a complex query or dataset. I often add a line at the end of a test query "| limit 1", I can then copy the results of one line and column headings// = (20 + 40 + 40 + 90 + 90 + 90) / 1 + 2 + 3let t = datatable (Value:int, Weight:int, Week:string)[10,1,"2019-02-25T00:00:00.000",10,1,"2019-02-26T00:00:00.000",20,1,"2019-02-25T00:00:00.000",40,2,"2019-02-25T00:00:00.000",90,3,"2019-02-26T00:00:00.000",];t| extend sumvalue = (Value * Weight)| summarize weighted_avg = (sum(sumvalue) / sum(Weight) ) by Week- elza_tsMar 01, 2019Copper Contributorthis is super weird. i had done the same thing with 'by Week' stuff before I replied to you.
