Aggregate Functions (Report Builder 1.0)

Aggregate functions are used to perform calculations on a single value or a set of values to return a single value for a formula. For example, suppose you want to know the number of customers that purchase specific products from you. The SUM aggregate function can add the number of customers for each product together to return a single value for each product. Instead of the number of customers per product, suppose you want to know how many customers you actually have—that is, the number of unique instances of each customer. Using the COUNTDISTINCT aggregate function, you can determine how many unique customers you really have.

Aggregate functions can use the following data types: DateTime, Integer, Decimal, Float, EntityKey, String, or Numeric.
