range operator

Applies to: ✅ Microsoft FabricAzure Data ExplorerAzure MonitorMicrosoft Sentinel

Generates a single-column table of values.

Notitie

This operator doesn't take a tabular input.

Syntax

range columnName from start to stop step step

Learn more about syntax conventions.

Parameters

Name Type Required Description
columnName string ✔️ The name of the single column in the output table.
start int, long, real, datetime, or timespan ✔️ The smallest value in the output.
stop int, long, real, datetime, or timespan ✔️ The highest value being generated in the output or a bound on the highest value if step steps over this value.
step int, long, real, datetime, or timespan ✔️ The difference between two consecutive values.

Notitie

The values can't reference the columns of any table. If you want to compute the range based on an input table, use the range function potentially with the mv-expand operator.

Returns

A table with a single column called columnName, whose values are start, start + step, ... up to and until stop.

Examples

The following example creates a table with entries for the current time stamp extended over the past seven days, once a day.

range LastWeek from ago(7d) to now() step 1d

Output

LastWeek
2015-12-05 09:10:04.627
2015-12-06 09:10:04.627
...
2015-12-12 09:10:04.627

The following example shows how to use the range operator with parameters, which are then extended and consumed as a table.

let toUnixTime = (dt:datetime) 
{ 
    (dt - datetime(1970-01-01)) / 1s 
};
let MyMonthStart = startofmonth(now()); //Start of month
let StepBy = 4.534h; //Supported timespans
let nn = 64000; // Row Count parametrized
let MyTimeline = range MyMonthHour from MyMonthStart to now() step StepBy
| extend MyMonthHourinUnixTime = toUnixTime(MyMonthHour), DateOnly = bin(MyMonthHour,1d), TimeOnly = MyMonthHour - bin(MyMonthHour,1d)
; MyTimeline | order by MyMonthHour asc | take nn

Output

MyMonthHour MyMonthHourinUnixTime DateOnly TimeOnly

... ... ... ...

The following example creates a table with a single column called Steps whose type is long and whose values are 1, 4, and 7.

range Steps from 1 to 8 step 3

The following example shows how the range operator can be used to create a small, ad-hoc, dimension table that is then used to introduce zeros where the source data has no values.

range TIMESTAMP from ago(4h) to now() step 1m
| join kind=fullouter
  (Traces
      | where TIMESTAMP > ago(4h)
      | summarize Count=count() by bin(TIMESTAMP, 1m)
  ) on TIMESTAMP
| project Count=iff(isnull(Count), 0, Count), TIMESTAMP
| render timechart
