NOTE: When added to a transform, this function is applied to the sample in the data grid. If you change your sample or run the job, the computed values for this function are updated. Transforms that change the number of rows in subsequent recipe steps do not affect the values computed for this step.
To perform a simple summing of rows without conditionals, use the SUM function. See SUM 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
sumif(timeoutSecs, errors >= 1)
Output: Returns the sum of the timeoutSecs column when the errors value is greater than or equal to 1.
Syntax and Arguments
sumif(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. |
| test_expression | Y | string | Expression that is evaluated. Must resolve to true or false |
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. Column must be a numeric (Integer or Decimal) type.
Usage Notes:
| Required? | Data Type | Example Value |
|---|---|---|
| Yes | String that corresponds to the name of the column | myValues |
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 true or false | (LastName == 'Mouse' && FirstName == 'Mickey')
|

Here is some example polling data across 16 precincts in 8 cities across 4 counties, where registrations have been invalidated at the polling station, preventing voters from voting. Precincts where this issue has occurred previously have been added to a watch list (precinctWatchList).
| totalReg | invalidReg | precinctWatchList | precinctId | cityId | countyId |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 731 | 24 | y | 1 | 1 | 1 |
| 743 | 29 | y | 2 | 1 | 1 |
| 874 | 0 | 3 | 2 | 1 | |
| 983 | 0 | 4 | 2 | 1 | |
| 622 | 29 | 5 | 3 | 2 | |
| 693 | 0 | 6 | 3 | 2 | |
| 775 | 37 | y | 7 | 4 | 2 |
| 1025 | 49 | y | 8 | 4 | 2 |
| 787 | 13 | 9 | 5 | 3 | |
| 342 | 0 | 10 | 5 | 3 | |
| 342 | 39 | y | 11 | 6 | 3 |
| 387 | 28 | y | 12 | 6 | 3 |
| 582 | 59 | 13 | 7 | 4 | |
| 244 | 0 | 14 | 7 | 4 | |
| 940 | 6 | y | 15 | 8 | 4 |
| 901 | 4 | y | 16 | 8 | 4 |
Transformation:
First, you want to sum up the invalid registrations (invalidReg) for precincts that are already on the watchlist (precinctWatchList = y). These sums are grouped by city, which can span multiple precincts:
| Transformation Name | New formula |
|---|---|
| Parameter: Formula type | Single row formula |
| Parameter: Formula | SUMIF(invalidReg, precinctWatchList == "y") |
| Parameter: Group rows by | cityId |
| Parameter: New column name | 'invalidRegbyCityId' |
The invalidRegbyCityId column contains invalid registrations across the entire city.
Now, at the county level, you want to identify the number of precincts that were on the watch list and were part of a city-wide registration problem.
In the following step, the number of cities in each count are counted where invalid registrations within a city is greater than 60.
- This step creates a pivot aggregation.
| Transformation Name | Pivot columns |
|---|---|
| Parameter: Row labels | countyId |
| Parameter: Values | COUNTDISTINCTIF(precinctId, invalidRegbyCityId > 60) |
| Parameter: Max number of columns to create | 1 |
Results:
| countyId | countdistinctif_precinctId |
|---|---|
| 1 | 0 |
| 2 | 2 |
| 3 | 2 |
| 4 | 0 |
The voting officials in counties 2 and 3 should investigate their precinct registration issues.
