Use this Snap to add aggregate functions such as COUNT, SUM, MIN, and MAX along with the GROUP BY clause in the incoming SQL query. GROUP BY clauses are used to group table records based on columns that contain classifying data and are optional in this Snap. This Snap also allows you to preview the result of the output query. You can validate the modified query using this preview functionality. The supported aggregate functions vary based on the account configuration. See the description of the Aggregate Function field in the Snap Settings section for details.

General Aggregate Functions List

This field set enables you to specify the columns for which to add the aggregate functions. Each aggregate function must be specified as a new row. Click to add a row.

This field set contains the following fields:

  • Aggregate Function
  • Field Name
  • Eliminate duplicates
  • Alias Name
Aggregate FunctionString/Expression/Suggestion

Required. Select the aggregate function to use. Click Image Modified to retrieve the list of the supported aggregate functions. The list displays the functions supported by the database that you select in the Account settings. An error is displayed if an account is not configured. See the Troubleshooting section for details. 

Alternatively, you can also enter the name of the aggregate function to use; you must, however, ensure that it is spelled correctly. Otherwise, the Snap displays an error. 

You can use the following aggregate functions:

  • AVG
  • COUNT
  • COUNT_IF
  • MAX
  • MIN
  • SUM

Additionally, the following aggregate functions are available based on the database type:

N/AAVG
Field NameString/ExpressionRequired. Select the column on which to apply the aggregate function.N/AREVENUE
Eliminate duplicatesCheck box

Select to apply DISTINCT to the column specified in the Field field. This means that the aggregate function is applied only to the unique values in the column. 

Note
titleBehavior with COUNT_IF aggregate function

Selecting this checkbox while using COUNT_IF aggregate function does not eliminate duplicate records in case of Snowflake and BigQuery databases, as there is no native support. However, it eliminates the duplicates from the list of records when used with a Redshift, Azure Synapse, or Databricks Lakehouse Platform (DLP) instance.

Aggregate FunctionString/Expression/Suggestion

Required. Select the aggregate function to use. Click  to retrieve the list of the supported linear regression aggregate functions. The list displays the functions supported by the database. An error is displayed if an account is not configured. See the Troubleshooting section for details. 

Alternatively, you can also enter the name of an aggregate function; you must, however, ensure that it is spelled correctly. Otherwise, the Snap displays an error. 

You can use the following aggregate functions:
