Write a sub query to filter events to show only those which have an event name of longer than average length. You will need the AVG and LEN functions to do this.

Sub query returning filtered events

The top 5 results out of 204 events.

You can run your subquery separately by highlighting it to show that the average EventName length is 26 characters:

Sub Query average length

The advantage of a sub query over typing 26 is that it will stay up to date if the average moves.
