tdigest_merge() (aggregation functions)
Applies to: ✅ Microsoft Fabric ✅ Azure Data Explorer ✅ Azure Monitor ✅ Microsoft Sentinel
Merges tdigest results across the group.
Note
This function is used in conjunction with the summarize operator.
For more information about the underlying algorithm (T-Digest) and the estimated error, see estimation error in percentiles.
The
tdigest_merge()
andmerge_tdigest()
functions are equivalent
Important
The results of tdigest() and tdigest_merge() can be stored and later retrieved. For example, you may want to create daily percentiles summary, which can then be used to calculate weekly percentiles. However, the precise binary representation of these results may change over time. There's no guarantee that these functions will produce identical results for identical inputs, and therefore we don't advise relying on them.
Syntax

expr)

Parameters
Name | Type | Required | Description |
---|---|---|---|
expr | string |
✔️ | The expression used for the aggregation calculation. |
Returns
Returns the merged tdigest values of expr across the group.
Note
- Use the function percentile_tdigest() to calculate the percentiles from the
tdigest_merge
results. - All tdigests that are included in the same group must be of the same type.
Example
StormEvents
| summarize PreAggDamageProperty=tdigest(DamageProperty) by State
| summarize tdigest_merge(PreAggDamageProperty)
Output
merge_tdigests_PreAggDamageProperty |
