COUNT_BY_ENUM

Description

Syntax

count_by_enum(expr1, expr2, ... , exprN);

Treats the data in a column as an enumeration and counts the number of values in each enumeration. Returns the number of enumerated values for each column, and the number of non-null values versus the number of null values.

Arguments

expr1 — At least one input must be specified. The value is a column of type STRING.

Returned value

Returns a JSONArray string.

For example:

[{
"cbe": {
"F": 100,
"M": 99
},
"notnull": 199,
"null": 1,
"all": 200
}, {
"cbe": {
"20": 10,
"30": 5,
"35": 1
},
"notnull": 16,
"null": 184,
"all": 200
}, {
"cbe": {
"China": 10,
"United States": 9,
"England": 20,
"Germany": 30
},
"notnull": 69,
"null": 131,
"all": 200
}]

Description: The return value is a JSON array string and the order of the internal objects is the order of the input parameters.

  • cbe: count of non-null values based on enumeration values
  • notnull: number of non-null values.
  • null: number of null values
  • all: total number, including both null and non-null values.
