Query Guidance

Select and aggregate this field as a decimal numeric value, typically with SUM, AVG, MIN, MAX, or percentile functions depending on the analysis. When joining to action-level tables, group by the IDV identifier before summing to prevent duplication, and use COALESCE only when a null should be treated explicitly as zero.
