Generates a nested array containing the cross-product of all elements in two or more arrays.
- Input arrays can be referenced as column names or array literals.
- If Array1 has M elements and Array2 has N elements, the generated array has M X N elements.
NOTE: Be careful applying this function across columns of large arrays. A limit is automatically applied on large arrays to prevent overloading the browser. Avoid apply the ARRAYCROSS transform to very wide columns.
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
Array literal reference example:
arraycross[["A","B"],["1","2","3"]])
Output: Returns a single array:
[["A","1"],["A","2"],["A","3"],["B","1"],["B","2"],["B","3"]]
Column reference example:
arraycross(array1,array2,array3)
Output: Returns an array containing a single array listing all combinations of elements between array1, array2 , and array3.

Source: Code formatting has been applied to improve legibility. Transformation: You can apply the following transforms in the following order. Note that the column names must be different from the transform name, which is a reserved word. Results: For display purposes, the results table has been broken down into three separate sets of columns. Column set 1: Column set 2: Column set 3:ARRAYCONCAT - Concatenate multiple arrays together.
