It's one of the derivations on the output columns that you don't group by. Put a dummy column for the Aggregator, then in the following transformer include the fields you need. That or run them through the Aggregator.

Just want to double-check - Is this a TX job (from your forum of choice) or a Server job (as marked)?

First problem, you have two transformers in the job where you are dividing by zero. Fix that. Use an if-then-else derivation to check for that situation and skip the division in that case.
