Extracts the ranked value from the values in a column, where |
KTHLARGESTIF calculations are filtered by a conditional applied to the group.
For purposes of this calculation, two instances of the same value are treated as separate values. So, if your dataset contains three rows with column values 10, 9, and 9, then KTHLARGEST returns 9 for k=2 and k=3.
Input column can be of Integer or Decimal type. Non-numeric data in the column is ignored. If a row contains a missing or null value, it is not factored into the calculation.
NOTE: When added to a transform, this function is applied to the current sample. 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 kth largest calculation without conditionals, use the KTHLARGEST function. See KTHLARGEST Function.
pivot value: KTHLARGESTIF(POS_Sales, 1, DayOfWeek == 'Saturday') group:storeNbr limit:1 |
Output: Generates a two-column table containing the unique values for storeNbr and the top value (rank=1) from the POS_Sales column for each storeNbr when the DayOfWeek value is Saturday. The limit parameter defines the maximum number of output columns.
pivot value:LISTIF(col_ref, limit, 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. |
| k_integer | Y | integer | The ranking of the value to extract from the source column |
| test_expression | Y | string | Expression that is evaluated. Must resolve to true or false |
For more information on the group and limit parameter, see Pivot Transform.
Name of the column whose values you wish to use in the calculation. Column must be a numeric (Integer or Decimal) type.
| Required? | Data Type | Example Value |
|---|---|---|
| Yes | String that corresponds to the name of the column | myValues |
Integer representing the ranking of the value to extract from the source column.
NOTE: The value for |
k=1 represents the maximum value in the column. k.This parameter contains the expression to evaluate. This expression must resolve to a Boolean (true or false) value.
| Required? | Data Type | Example Value |
|---|---|---|
| Yes | String expression that evaluates to true or false | (LastName == 'Mouse' && FirstName == 'Mickey')
