NumericCount() returns the number of numeric values found in the expression, as defined by a group by clause.
Syntax:
Return data type: integer
Arguments:
| Argument | Description |
|---|---|
| expr | The expression or field containing the data to be measured. |
| distinct | If the word distinct occurs before the expression, all duplicates are disregarded. |
Examples and results:
Add the example script to your document and run it. Then add, at least, the fields listed in the results column to a sheet in our document to see the result.
Example 1:
Temp:
LOAD * inline [
Customer|Product|OrderNumber|UnitSales|UnitPrice
Astrida|AA|1|4|16
Astrida|AA|7|10|15
Astrida|BB|4|9|9
Betacab|CC|6|5|10
Betacab|AA|5|2|20
Betacab|BB||| 25
Canutility|AA|||15
Canutility|CC| ||19
Divadip|CC|2|4|16
Divadip|DD|7|1|25
] (delimiter is '|');
NumCount1:
LOAD Customer,NumericCount(OrderNumber) as NumericCountByCustomer Resident Temp Group By Customer;
| Customer | NumericCountByCustomer |
|---|---|
| Astrida | 3 |
| Betacab | 2 |
| Canutility | 0 |
| Divadip | 2 |
Example 2:
LOAD NumericCount(OrderNumber) as TotalNumericCount Resident Temp;
The second statement gives:
TotalNumericCount
7
Example 3:
Given that the Temp table is loaded as in the previous example:
LOAD NumericCount(distinct OrderNumber) as TotalNumericCountDistinct Resident Temp;
TotalNumericCountDistinct
6
Because there is one OrderNumber that duplicates another, so the result is 6 distinct values.
