MAXDATEIF Function
Returns the maximum Datetime value of rows in each group that meet a specific condition. Set of values must valid Datetime values.
注記
When added to a transformation, this function is applied to the current sample. If you change your sample or run the job, the computed values for this function are updated. Transformations that change the number of rows in subsequent recipe steps do not affect the values computed for this step.
To calculate the maximum Datetime value of rows without conditionals, use the MAXDATE
function. See MAXDATE Function.
Wrangle vs. SQL: This function is part of Wrangle, a proprietary data transformation language. Wrangle is not SQL. For more information, see Wrangle Language.
Basic Usage
maxdateif(incidentDate, serverFailure == 'true')
Output: Returns the maximum date from the incidentDate
column when the value in the serverFailure
column is true
.
Syntax and Arguments
maxdateif(col_ref, test_expression) [group:group_col_ref] [limit:limit_count]
Argument | Required? | Data Type | Description |
---|---|---|---|
col_ref | Y | string | Reference to the column you wish to evaluate. Values in the columns must be valid Date values. |
test_expression | Y | string | Expression that is evaluated. Must resolve to |
For more information on syntax standards, see Language Documentation Syntax Notes.
For more information on the group
and limit
parameters, see Pivot Transform.
col_ref
Name of the column whose values you wish to use in the calculation. Inputs must be Datetime values.
Usage Notes:
Required? | Data Type | Example Value |
---|---|---|
Yes | String that corresponds to the name of the column | myDates |
test_expression
This parameter contains the expression to evaluate. This expression must resolve to a Boolean (true
or false
) value.
Usage Notes:
Required? | Data Type | Example Value |
---|---|---|
Yes | String expression that evaluates to | (LastName == 'Mouse' && FirstName == 'Mickey') |
