Aggregate filters

When working with query filters, you can switch to finer-grained or coarser-grained representation of your data. ThoughtSpot then re-aggregates the query to generate your new results and visualizations. Similarly, ThoughtSpot re-aggregates the query when you include or exclude the filter condition in the interface.

Include or exclude filter condition

With query_filters()+{filter_condition} or query_filters()-{filter_condition}, you can aggregate the results when including or excluding a filter condition.

Example

Filter condition: Ship Mode='car'

When you search on category Customer ID sales by customer id and category Ship Mode='car’, you can add a formula that calculate sales by category for each customer:

sales by Customer ID and Category = group_aggregate (
   sum(Sales),
   {Category, Customer ID },
   query_filters()+{Ship Mode='air'}
   )

ThoughtSpot aggregates the results in the following manner:

  • Dimensions: ‘Category’ and ‘Customer ID’

  • Filters: ‘air’ and ‘car’.

Add a column to query filter

Add a query_filters()-{column} clause to an expression to aggregate the results while removing the expression related to the column.

Example

Filter condition: Ship Mode='car'

When you search on category Customer ID sales by customer id and category Ship Mode='car', you can add a formula that calculate sales for each customer, while ignoring the filter on the column:

sales by Customer ID and Category = group_aggregate (
   sum(Sales),
   {Customer ID, Category},
   query_filters()-{Ship Mode}
   )

In this case, ThoughtSpot aggregates the results in the following manner:

  • Dimensions: Customer ID

  • Filters: none, because ignored
