If I have an aggregate, can I get the average of the values in the query, without computing it in python memory?
from django.db.models import F, Sum, FloatField, Avg
Model.objects.filter(...)\
.values('id')\
.annotate(subtotal=Sum(...math here...), output_field=FloatField())\
.annotate(total=Avg(F('subtotal'))) #this line throws a FieldError
Is there any way to get the Avg
of the subtotal
values in the query? It gives me an error that I'm not allowed to compute Avg
on an aggregate ("subtotal
"), but I can't replace the .values('id')
grouping because the .annotate(...math here...)
operations inside aren't distributive accross Model
objects.
You simply using values() , aggregate() and function Avg() and F() .
When specifying the field to be aggregated in an aggregate function, Django will allow you to use the same double underscore notation that is used when referring to related fields in filters. Django will then handle any table joins that are required to retrieve and aggregate the related value.
In the Django QuerySet API, F() expressions are used to refer to model field values directly in the database.
from django.db.models import F, Sum, FloatField, Avg
Model.objects.filter(...)\
.values('id')\
.annotate(subtotal=Sum(...math here..., output_field=FloatField()))\
.aggregate(total=Avg(F('subtotal')))
Aggregating annotations. Note: output_field
is parameter of Sum
, not annotate()
.
