Formula function reference

Learn the operators and functions you can use to create formulas in ThoughtSpot.

ThoughtSpot allows you to create derived columns in worksheets using formulas. You create these columns by building formulas using the Formula Assistant. An individual formula consists of n combinations of operators and functions.

This reference lists the various operators and functions you can use to create formulas.

similarity (tweet1, tweet2)

sounds_like

Accepts two text strings. Returns true if they sound similar when spoken, and false if they do not.

Examples

sounds_like ( 'read' , 'red' ) = true
sounds_like ( owner , promoter )

spells_like

Accepts two text strings. Returns true if they are spelled similarly and false if they are not. Works with strings under 1023 characters.

Examples

spells_like ('thouhgtspot', 'thoughtspot') = true
spells_like (studio, distributor)

strlen

Returns the length of the text.

Examples

strlen ('smith') = 5
strlen (lastname)

strpos

Returns the numeric position (starting from 0) of the first occurrence of the second string in the first string, or -1 if not found.

Examples

strpos ('haystack_with_needles', 'needle') = 14
strpos (complaint, 'lawyer')

substr

Returns the portion of the given string, beginning at the location specified (starting from 0), and of the given length.

Examples

substr ('persnickety', 3, 7) = snicket
substr (lastname, 0, 5)

Variables

These variables can be used in your expressions.

ts_groups

Returns a list of all the groups the current logged in user belongs to. For any row, if the expression evaluates to true for any of the groups, the user can see that row.

Example

ts_groups = 'east'

ts_username

Returns the user with the matching name.

Example

ts_username != 'mark'

You cannot use these variables (ts_groups and ts_username) within an expression. For example, ts_groups = substr(rls_group_name, 0, 3) is valid, but substr(ts_groups,0,3) = rls_group_name is NOT valid.

Embrace passthrough functions

The following passthrough SQL functions are supported in connections for all cloud data warehouses:

sql_bool_aggregate_op
sql_bool_op
sql_date_aggregate_op
sql_date_op
sql_date_time_aggregate_op
sql_date_time_op
sql_double_aggregate_op
sql_double_op
sql_int_aggregate_op
sql_int_op
sql_string_aggregate_op
sql_string_op
sql_time_aggregate_op
sql_time_op

sql_bool_aggregate_op

Returns the boolean data type. The first argument takes the signature of the external function and runs it against the datasource. Subsequent arguments pass the values to the external function.

Example

sql_bool_aggregate_op (
   "booland_agg ({0})",
   is_delivered )

sql_bool_op

Returns the boolean data type. The first argument takes the signature of the external function to be executed against the datasource. Subsequent arguments take the values to be passed to the external function.

Examples:

sql_bool_op (
   "is_decimal ({0})",
   itemCount )

sql_bool_op (
   "boolor ({0}, {1})",
   2,
   0 ) = True

sql_date_aggregate_op

Returns the date data type. The first argument takes the signature of the external function to be executed against the datasource. Subsequent arguments take the values to be passed to the external function.

Example:

sql_date_aggregate_op (
   "max ({0})" ,
   orderdate )

sql_date_op

Example:

sql_date_op (
   "previous_day ({0})",
   ship_date )

sql_date_time_aggregate_op

Returns the timestamp data type. The first argument takes the signature of the external function to be executed against the datasource. Subsequent arguments take the values to be passed to the external function.

Example:

ql_date_time_aggregate_op (
   "max ({0})",
   delivery_time )

sql_date_time_op

Example:

sql_date_time_op (
   "timestamp_sub ({0}, {1})",
   sale_time,
   'INTERVAL 30 MINUTE')

sql_double_aggregate_op

Returns the double data type. The first argument takes the signature of the external function to be executed against the datasource. Subsequent arguments take the values to be passed to the external function.

Example:

sql_double_aggregate_op (
   "approx_percentile ({0}, {1})",
   unrealised_gain,
   0.99 )

sql_double_op

Examples:

sql_double_op (
   "acosh ({0})",
   quantity )

sql_double_op (
   "radians ({0})",
   180 ) = 3.141592654

sql_int_aggregate_op

Returns the int data type. The first argument takes the signature of the external function to be executed against the datasource. Subsequent arguments take the values to be passed to the external function.

Examples:

sql_int_aggregate_op (
   "approx_count_distinct ({0})",
   sale_volume )

sql_int_aggregate_op (
   "bitand_agg({0}) OVER ( [ partition by {1} ] )",
   user_permissions,
   user_type )

sql_int_op

Examples:

sql_int_op (
   "ceil ({0})",
   itemCount )
sql_int_op (
   "charindex ({0}, {1})",
   "qwerty",
   "rty" ) = 4

sql_string_aggregate_op

Returns the string data type. The first argument takes the signature of the external function to be executed against the datasource. Subsequent arguments take the values to be passed to the external function.

Example:

sql_string_aggregate_op (
   "min ({0})",
   username )

sql_string_op

Example:

sql_string_op (
   "soundex ({0})",
   "Marks" )

sql_time_aggregate_op

Returns the time data type. The first argument takes the signature of the external function to be executed against the datasource. Subsequent arguments take the values to be passed to the external function.

Example:

sql_time_aggregate_op (
   "max (time ({0}))",
   delivery_time )

sql_time_op

Example:

sql_time_op (
   "time_from_parts ({0}, {1}, {2})",
   12,
   30,
   20 ) = 12:30:20
