series_fill_const()
Applies to: ✅ Microsoft Fabric ✅ Azure Data Explorer ✅ Azure Monitor ✅ Microsoft Sentinel
Replaces missing values in a series with a specified constant value.
Takes an expression containing dynamic numerical array as input, replaces all instances of missing_value_placeholder with the specified constant_value and returns the resulting array.
Syntax
series_fill_const(
series,
constant_value,
[ missing_value_placeholder ])

Parameters
Name | Type | Required | Description |
---|---|---|---|
series | dynamic |
✔️ | An array of numeric values. |
constant_value | scalar | ✔️ | The value used to replace the missing values. |
missing_value_placeholder | scalar | Specifies a placeholder for missing values. The default value is double( null) . The value can be of any type that will be converted to actual element types. double (null), long (null) and int (null) have the same meaning. |
Returns
series with all instances of missing_value_placeholder replaced with constant_value.
Note
- If you create series using the make-series operator, specify null as the default value to use interpolation functions like
series_fill_const()
afterwards. See explanation. - If missing_value_placeholder is
double
(null), or omitted, then a result may contain null values. To fill these null values, use other interpolation functions. Only series_outliers() supports null values in input arrays. series_fill_const()
preserves the original type of the array elements.
Example
let data = datatable(arr: dynamic)
[
dynamic([111, null, 36, 41, 23, null, 16, 61, 33, null, null])
];
