Report question

I have a report with the follwing specs.
Product Year UnitPrice # of Units
XYZ 2000 $1.10 50
$3.00 10
$2.10 20
2001 $2.30 40
$2.50 100
I would like to calculate the average price for each year.
What do you think guys? I know there is an avg function, but the
multiplication screws up the things. Should I calculate it in the dataset
with SQL? What is your opinion?
Thanks.
Regards,
CemTake a look at sample report below which goes against local northwind
database, groups data by year, and uses Avg() to calculate average freight
per year
