Examples of Aggregate Functions

Below are several examples of SQL aggregate functions. You can use these with a GROUP BY clause to aggregate rows based on the specified GROUP BY criterion. This can be a reporting tool.

COUNT

Returns the number of rows matching the query criteria.

SELECT COUNT(*) FROM Transactions WHERE Code = '051349'

COUNT(DISTINCT)

Returns the number of distinct, non-null field values matching the query criteria.

SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT Id) AS DistinctValues FROM Transactions WHERE Code = '051349'

AVG

Returns the average of the column values.

SELECT TotalTax, AVG(AnnualRevenue) FROM Transactions WHERE Code = '051349' GROUP BY TotalTax

MIN

Returns the minimum column value.

SELECT MIN(AnnualRevenue), TotalTax FROM Transactions WHERE Code = '051349' GROUP BY TotalTax

MAX

Returns the maximum column value.

SELECT TotalTax, MAX(AnnualRevenue) FROM Transactions WHERE Code = '051349' GROUP BY TotalTax

SUM

Returns the total sum of the column values.

SELECT SUM(AnnualRevenue) FROM Transactions WHERE Code = '051349'

COUNT
