Hey guys. I have a question about SQL query.

Here is my query:
SELECT AVG(COL1),AVG(COL2)
FROM.....
WHERE....

Because this query is in a repeating cycle, so sometimes it will get multiple rows but sometimes only a single row.
Then if it is a single row, the AVG() did not work and can not return any value.

How to deal with that?
Thanks

OK. So the point is does "AVG()" work if I only select a single row?

nope. AVG returns of the average of the quantity specified over grouping applied (if no grouping applied then it gives average for table)

[code]DECLARE @Sample TABLE
(
data MONEY
)

INSERT @Sample
SELECT 4.5

SELECT AVG(data)
FROM @Sample[/code]There must be something else wrong with your code.
