There are several ways to create a user-defined average:

•Select individual areas (e.g., counties or cities). This is a bottom-up approach.  See To Select Areas for a User-Defined Average below.

•Narrow the search by state/province, then by county, to view and select available cities.  This is a top-down approach.  See To Browse Areas for a User-Defined Average below.

•Search for cities within a radius of another. See Cities in a Radius.

•Import one or more user-defined averages.  See Import a User-Defined Average.

 

To Select Areas for a User-Defined Average

1.From any of the main tables:  In Organization Data, click the Averages button in the Area field to open the User-Defined Averages tab in the Browse Areas dialog.

2.In the User Defined Averages tab, click the button and enter a unique name for your new average.  

3.Select the area type: States/Provinces, Counties, or Cities.  (Note: Averaging more than one area type -- States/Provinces, Counties, or Cities -- is not allowed.  For example, an average of Cities cannot also include States/Provinces or Counties. Averaging areas in more than one country is not allowed.)

4.Click the Add Area button.

5.Search for the desired area and select it from the results list.  Click OK.

6.Repeat steps 4-5 until all desired areas are selected.  Click OK.

To Browse Areas for a User-Defined Average

2.In the Browse Areas dialog, click the Browse By Region tab to browse regions.

3.Click on the Select Nation field and select an area from the drop-down list.  The state or regional averages in the selected nation will be listed under Available Areas.

5.To further narrow the area, click on the Select County (or Select Sub-Region) field and select an area from the drop-down list.  The cities in the selected county/sub-region will be listed under Available Areas.

6.Select multiple Available Areas using one of these two techniques:

•Hold down the Shift key on your keyboard while clicking a second city to select all cities between the first and the second selected cities. This allows you to select a group of areas that are contiguous (i.e. next to each other).

•Hold down the Ctrl key on your keyboard while selecting an additional city.  This allows you to select multiple areas that are anywhere on your list, not necessarily next to each other.

7.Add selected areas to the Selected Areas list using these tools:
