I have movies, I have users, I have votes.  
A user gives a rating to a movie with a picker component (1-10).  
So every user sees his / hers own points.  
But how do I calculate the average points? So averyone can see the average?  
If I try to make a rollup column (I thought maybe that is the way to go to collect all personal points?) I only get count and count unique ?  
Hope someone can help!

You can use AVERAGEIFS if you want to do it in Google Sheets.

Or, are you looking for a solution to do it in the Glide Builder?

Yeah, is it possible to do in Glide too? Because the votes remain in the data editor of Glide, I think.

Oh, are the votes captured in a user-specific column? I would assume so.

Yes, that’s the case, seemed logical to me?

I don’t think you can currently perform rollups on user specific columns. I think it is Glide’s goal to add that functionality at some point.

Old post but, it’s possible now? Make a sum or average of all user votes in a specific column.

No, still not possible. You would have to do something like this.

Let’s call it “temporary rating”. Force users to make a decision whether to “submit” or not. If they press submit you write that value to another column “permanent rating”, also a user-specific column. Serves only as a way to show the rating to the signed-in user later on. Now for the average, it gets a bit comp…
