Sharing Code

Most people blog to share something they've done, and hopefully with the idea that someone else will learn and benefit from it. Steve Jones is happy to share code, but not everyone seems to be in agreement. In any case, you ought to respect the author's wishes.

Question of the Day

Getting the Average

I have this data in the dbo.Commission table in a SQL Server 2022 database.

salesperson commission
Brian       12
Brian       16
Andy        7
Andy        14
Andy        21
Steve       20
Steve       NULL
All the data is a varchar, and I decide to run this query to get the totals for each salesperson.
SELECT SalesPerson
     , AVG(TRY_PARSE(Commission AS int)) AS TotalCommission
 FROM commission
 GROUP BY SalesPerson
GO
What average commission is calculated for Steve?
