I am having some problems creating a query that gives me the average of a sum. I read a few examples here in stackoverflow and couldn't do it. Can anyone help me to understand how to do this please? This is the data I have:

Basically I need the average transaction value by cashier. I can't run a basic avg because it will take all rows but each transaction can have multiple rows. At the end I want to have:

Cashier| Average|  
131    | 44.31  |(Which comes from the sum divided by 3 transactions not 5 rows)  
130    | 33.15  |  
etc.  

This is the query I have to SUM the transactions but don't know how or where to include the AVG function.

SELECT `products`.`Transaction_x0020_Number`, 
       Sum(`products`.`Sales_x0020_Value`) AS `SUM of Sales_x0020_Value`, 
       `products`.`Cashier`   
  FROM `products`
GROUP BY `products`.`Transaction_x0020_Number`, `products`.`Date`, `products`.`Cashier`
  HAVING (`products`.`Date` ={d'2010-06-04'})  

Any help is appreciated.
