# Chi2Test\_chi2 - script and chart function

Chi2Test\_chi2() returns the aggregated chi2-test value for one or two series of values.

If the function is used in the load script, the values are iterated over a number of records as defined by a group by clause.

If the function is used in a chart expression, the values are iterated over the chart dimensions.
