Aggregate functions calculate a return value across all the items in a result set. Arcadia Enterprise provides optional aggregation operations on data values, such as summation, string concatenation, and common statistical measurements of data.
To add an aggregate function of change the selection for aggregates, follow these steps:
Under Field Properties, click to expand the Aggregates menu.
From the Aggregates menu, select one of the following options:
Sum is the summation over specified data.
Returns the value of SUM([field])
.
Count counts the records of specified data.
Returns the value of COUNT([field])
.
Approx Distinct Count returns the value of
NDV([field])
function, 'number of distinct values'.
Similar to COUNT(DISTINCT([field]))
. See Impala NDV Function.
For Arcadia connections, you may change the calculations to get a significantly more
precise value by using our proprietary NDVP([field])
function. You
must edit the expression in Expression Editor to use
NDVP()
instead of NDV()
. See NDVP().
Exact Distinct Count returns the value of
COUNT(distinct([field]))
.
Minimum returns the value of
MIN([field])
.
Maximum returns the value of
MAX([field])
.
Average returns the value of
AVG([field])
.
APX_MEDIAN([field])
.STDDEV([field])
.STDDEV_POP([field])
.VARIANCE([field])
.VARIANCE_POP([field])
.String Concat returns the value of
GROUP_CONCAT([field])
.
It is a single string representing the argument value concatenated together for each row of the result set. If specifying optional separator (usually comma followed by a space), it appears between each pair of concatenated values.
Fields that use an aggregation function have a green dot on the Aggregates menu.
To remove an aggregate from a field, click on the selected aggregate function; that removes the check mark.
