# Change an item's type

Setting an item's type will change how it is displayed on the main Items page and on it's chart.

There are two item types - **Sum and Average.** 

If an item's type is **sum** (the default) the item will display a sum of all entry values.

If an item's type is **average** the item will display an average of all the entry values. A good example of an item that should use this type is "Weight". You are most likely not interested in viewing the sum of all your weight entries but rather the average.

To change an item's type, follow the steps below. 

## Step 1 - Tap on an item (anywhere but the number)
