In this example, an Income Statement module has line items on rows and Time on columns. The Net Profit line item has a numeric data type, and the Quarter above average for year line item has a Boolean data type.
In Blueprint, in the Summary column for Net Profit, Time Summary is set to Average. The formula returns a TRUE result for values that are above average for each quarter in the year.

| Net Profit | 660,338 | 567,656 | 457,374 | 446,662 | 533,007 |
