Aggregate Functions

For the aggregate functions, Cumulative Sum and Cumulative Percent, see View Attribute.

Excerpt

This is the list of available aggregate functions.

FunctionDescription
Average

This function returns the arithmetic average value of an attribute from records with the same key value.

In detail, it returns the sum of all values for a key value, divided by the number of values that are not null.

It is only available for numeric attributes.

CountThis function returns the number of non-null values of an attribute from records with the same key value.
Distinct

This function returns the number of unique values of an attribute from records with the same key value. There is no single attribute function equivalent of the distinct pipe function.

Maximum

This function returns the maximum value of an attribute from records with the same key value.

It is available for numeric, string and date/time attributes.

Strings are ordered alphabetically, with the shortest strings first.

Minimum

This function returns the minimum value of an attribute from records with the same key value.

It is available for numeric, string and date/time attributes.

 Strings are ordered alphabetically, with the shortest strings first.

Percent


Note

The percent function is only available for PhixFlow instances running on an Oracle database.

This function can be applied to a numeric field, to return the percentage of the sum of values for each key value in relation to the total sum of values.

You should use this function in conjunction with one or more grouping attributes - each combination of values from these grouping attributes gives a key value.

For example, you have a table with 2 fields:

NumberLabel
12A
14B
13C
10A
5A
2

B

and you create a grid view:

  • dragging in the attribute Label - which automatically becomes a grouping attribute when one or more of the other attributes are aggregated
  • dragging in the attribute Number, and applying the aggregate function Percent
  • setting the rounding on the view attribute Number to 2 decimal places

This will give the view:

NumberLabel
48.22A
28.57B
23.21C


Sum

This function returns the sum of all values of an attribute from records with the same key value.

It is only available for numeric attributes.
