Count by group
The Count by group step allows you to quickly summarize data by counting occurrences within your dataset. It’s particularly useful for flagging duplicate values that exist in a dataset.
How to use the step
- Drag a Count by group step onto the canvas.
- Select the column(s) that you want to count unique values within.
- Ex) If you want to count up how many orders were placed each month, you would just select the Month column.
- If you want to count up how many orders were placed each month by state, you would select both Month and State.
- Ex) If you want to count up how many orders were placed each month, you would just select the Month column.
