Time Window Calculations
Time Window calculations allow new columns to be created that are based on a defined time window.
As a consequence, there are several additional functions:
Function | Description |
COUNT_TIMEWIN |
Like SUM_TIMEWIN, but simply returns the number of time slices between the defined time window, that have non-null values. |
CUMSUM_TIMEWIN |
The cumulative sum of Time Series value between start and end times. Alias for SUM_TIMEWIN(“Measure”,TimeWindowStart,Now). |
LOOKUP |
The value of a Time Series measure at a specific time. |
MAX_TIMEWIN |
The maximum value between the start and end times. |
MEAN_TIMEWIN |
The mean value of the Time Series between the start and end times. |
MIN_TIMEWIN |
The minimum value between the start and end times. |
NOW |
Returns the system Date/Time in default or provided format. Example: NOW() or NOW("yyyy MMM dd HH:mm:ss"). |
PRODUCT_TIMEWIN |
The product of the Time Series values between the start and end times. |
STDEV_TIMEWIN |
The standard deviation of the time series between the start and end times. |
STDEVP_TIMEWIN |
The population standard deviation of the time series between the start and end times. |
SUM_TIMEWIN |
The sum of Time Series values between start and end times. |
UTC |
Returns the current UTC Date/Time in default or provided format. Example: UTC() or UTC("yyyy MMM dd HH:mm:ss"). |
And three additional measures:
Function | Description |
SnapshotTime |
The time slice at the Snapshot Time |
TimeWindowEnd |
The Time slice at the end of a time window |
TimeWindowStart |
The Time slice at the start of a time window |
NOTE: When using Time Windows calculations, fields referenced by the calculation should be enclosed in double quotes and NOT square brackets.
For example, using the Time Series column PRICE, the following calculations can be created:
Function | Description |
Difference Between Start and End of Time Window |
LOOKUP(“PRICE”,TimeWindowStart)-LOOKUP(“PRICE”,TimeWindowEnd) |
