| Excerpt |
|---|
Finds the value for the domain from a valid URL. Input values must be of URL or String type. |
In this implementation, a domain value is all data between 1) the protocol identifier (if present) and the sub-domain and 2) the trailing, top-level domain information (e.g. .com).
| Info |
|---|
NOTE: When the DOMAIN function parses a multi-tiered top-level domain such as co.uk, the output is the first part of the domain value (e.g. co). To return other parts of the domain information, you can use the HOST function. See HOST Function. |
URL literal examples:
| D code |
|---|
derive type:single value:DOMAIN('http://www.example.com' ) as: 'myDomain' |
Output: Generates a column containing the value example.
| D code |
|---|
derive type:single value:DOMAIN('http://www.exampl.e.com' ) as: 'myDomain' |
Output: Generates a column containing the value e.
Column reference example:
| D code |
|---|
derive type:single value:DOMAIN(myURLs) as: 'myDomain' |
Output: Generates the new myDomain column containing the domain values extracted from the myURLs column.
| D code |
|---|
derive type:single value:DOMAIN(column_url) |
| Argument | Required? | Data Type | Description |
|---|
| column_url | Y | string | Name of column or String or URL literal containing the domain value to extract |
column_url
Name of the column or URL or String literal whose values are used to extract the domain value.
- Missing input values generate missing results.
- Multiple columns and wildcards are not supported.
| Required? | Data Type | Example Value |
|---|
| Yes | String literal or column reference (URL) | http://www.example.com |
Example - Filter out internal users
Here is some example web visitor information, including the name of the individual and the referring URL. You would like to filter out the internal users, whose referrer values include test-value.
| Name | Referrer |
|---|
| Joe Guy | http://www.example.com |
| Ian Holmes | http://www.test-value.com/support |
| Nick Knight | http://www.test-value.com |
| Axel Adams | http://www.example.com |
| Teri Towns | http://www.example.com/test-value |
Transform:
The referrrer values include test-value as a non-domain value and varying URLs from the test-value.com domain. So, you should use the DOMAIN function to parse only the domain versions of these values. The following evaluates the Referrer column values for the test-value domain and generates true/false answers in a new column accordingly:
| D code |
|---|
derive type:single value:IF(DOMAIN(Referrer)=='test-value',true,false) as:'isInternal' |
Now that these values are flagged, you can filter out the internal names:
| D code |
|---|
delete row:(isInternal == 'true') |
Results:
| Name | Referrer | isInternal |
|---|
| Joe Guy | http://www.example.com | false |
| Axel Adams | http://www.example.com | false |
| Teri Towns | http://www.example.com/test-value | false |
