NameDescription
Group By

Add grouping clause/function to the eventual data set. This can be used together with Aggregate Fields above.

In figure 3, the "amount" field will be summed up by "claimant", shown in per record row.

Aggregate Fields

This field will be displayed once any number of columns has been added into the Group By field.

The select field is to aggregate.

  • Count
  • Count Distinct
  • Sum
  • Min
  • Max
  • Avg

In the sample screenshot above, the "amount" field will be put into the "Sum" function, and "Count" will be applied to "title".

Having Conditions

This field will be displayed once any number of columns has been added into the Group By field.

The HAVING clause enables you to specify conditions that filter which group results appear in the final results. The WHERE clause places conditions on the selected columns, whereas the HAVING clause places conditions on groups created by the GROUP BY clause. Read more at http://www.dofactory.com/sql/having
