Combines the elements of one array with another, listing all elements of the first array before listing all elements of the second array.
- Arrays are referenced by column name or as array literals.
- This function applies two or more columns of Array type only. To concatenate string values, see Merge Transform.
- Duplicate values are not removed from the generated array.
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:
arrayconcat([["A","B","C"],["C","D","E"]])
Output: Generates the following array:
["A","B","C","C","D","E"]
Column reference example:
arrayconcat([array1,array2])
Output: Generates a new array containing a single array listing all of the elements in array1 followed by all elements from array2 in order.
Syntax and Arguments
arrayconcat(array_ref1,array_ref2)
| Argument | Required? | Data Type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| array_ref1 | Y | string or array | Name of first column or first array literal to apply to the function |
| array_ref2 | Y | string or array | Name of second column or second array literal to apply to the function |

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. See ARRAYCONCAT Function.ARRAYINTERSECT - Find the intersection of elements between multiple arrays. See ARRAYINTERSECT Function.ARRAYCROSS - Compute the cross product of multiple arrays. See ARRAYCROSS Function.ARRAYUNIQUE - Generate unique values across multiple arrays.
