Profiler Object:Column-Based Date/Time Statistics
Theses statistics should only be retrieved after calling the ProfileData function. These values are all column-specific. Date/Time statistics are computed for all column types including non-date/time-based ones (such as strings, numeric, etc.)
Quartiles and Medians
A median value is the 'middle' value. That is, if one were to order a list of 100 values from lowest to highest (including duplicate values), the median value is the value of the 50th item. There are two quartile values: first and third. In the previous example, the first quartile would be the 25th value, and the third quartile would be the 75th value. In cases where the total number of records is not evenly divisible, the value closest to the quartile or median point is used.

GetColumnDateAvgValue
This function returns a column’s average Date/Time value. For date/time values, an average value is determined by averaging the Julian date and time (as a floating point number), and then taking the averaged result and converting it back to a date/time.
This function takes one parameter.
