    Explanation of Logic for Week Calculation in Year-Week Granularity

    The week calculation logic of year-week granularity adopts the standard week logic of IOS. The first day of each week is Sunday. There are 52 or 53 weeks each year. The first week of each year must include the day, January 4th. This can ensure that there are 7 days of data every week, which is more in line with business scenarios.

    Example

    This example will show how to use the function Group Summary to calculate the average contract amount of permanent and temporary contracts each quarter.

    Field Type

    Supported Grouping Way

    Description

    Text field

    • merge same items as a group

    • Custom Grouping

    • merge same items as a group means to classify/combine text fields of the same value into one group.

    • Custom Grouping means to customize the group for text fields.

    Value field

    • merge same items as a group

    • Interval grouping

    • merge same items as a group means to classify value fields of same values into one group.

    • Interval grouping includes two ways: Auto and Custom Grouping.

    • The interval in Auto is divided into five groups by default according to the maximum and minimum values.

    • Custom Grouping is grouped by default according to the interval set in Auto. The interval can be modified. You can add, modify, delete, and rename customized groups. Those that are still not grouped will automatically be divided into a group with the customized name.

    Date field

    17 grouping ways are supported: Year Month Day, Number of weeks in year, Year-Month, Year Quarter, year, Quarter, Month, Month Day, Weeks, Week, Sun, Hour, Minute, Second, Year Month Day Hour, Year Month Day Hour Minute, and Year Month Day Hour Minute Second.


     

    Available Summary Fields

    text, value, and Date fields are supported. All fields including empty fields can be renamed and deleted.

    Field Type

    Supported Summary Way

    Description

    Text field

    • Distinct Count

    • Records Count

    • String Splicing

    • Note: Only direct connection data is supported.

    • Distinct Count means to count the same values in the field only once. To be specific, it counts the number of different values. It equals to the command count(distinct field).

    • Records Count means to record the number of the field. It equals to the command count(*).

    • String Splicing means to connect values in the field into one value.

    Note: The accuracy of the calculation depends on the type of database and the volume of data. In theory, the smaller the data volume is, the smaller the difference between the deduplication count is.

    Value field

    • Sum

    • Average

    • maximum

    • minimum

    Distinct Count

    Note: Only direct connection data is supported.

    • Records Count

    Date field

    • Distinct Count

    Note: Only direct connection data is supported.

    • Records Count

    • Earliest Time

    • Latest Time

    • Distinct Count means to count the same values in the field only once. To be specific, it counts the number of different values. It equals to the command count(distinct field)

    Note: The accuracy of the calculation depends on the type of database and the volume of data. In theory, the smaller the data volume is, the smaller the difference between the deduplication count is.

    • Records Count means to record the number of the field. It equals to the command count(*).

    • Earliest Time and Latest Time means the earliest and latest time within groups.


    Notes

    Unavailable Interval Grouping Function for Infinite Values

    When the grouping field is value field and values in the field are infinite, you cannot use the function Interval grouping.

    Prompts about Permission Inheritance

    Note: This prompt only appears in extract data.

    When the current user (the creator) is subject to row permission, fields that have been set row permissions cannot be dragged into grouping. The prompt will appear: Due to the permission inheritance, the calculation of the current data is abnormal. You need to add xxx field in xxx table into the group according to the lineage.

    For example, Anna's Region Table is added row permission, which restricts the region as California. When Anna uses this table for grouping and summarizing, she needs to drag and drop the field Region into grouping, otherwise a prompt will appear
