Function table / Pass-through SQL / RAWSQLAGG_DATETIME

RAWSQLAGG_DATETIME: from Tableau to SQL

Evaluates a permitted aggregate SQL expression with positional substitutions. Below, 8 sample rows go through the calculation and through the SQL, and both return the same numbers.

Calculated field

RAWSQLAGG_DATETIME("MIN(CAST(%1 AS TIMESTAMP))", '2026-10-14 09:30:00')

Sample data

cedar cedar 6512.8True

maple-east670null
willow north6825.3True
birch-birch694.9False
pine/south70-1.2null

The same calculation as SQL

SELECT min(TIMESTAMP '2026-10-14 09:30:00') AS result FROM input

Runs the example above.

Result

result
2026-10-14 09:30:00

Same rows from the calculation and from the SQL in DuckDB.

Where a naive translation goes wrong

  • RAWSQL embeds source-dialect SQL; replace the template for the target database.

    Naive SQL

    SELECT min(TIMESTAMP '2026-10-14 00:00:00') AS result FROM input
    result
    2026-10-14 00:00:00

    Matches the calculation

    SELECT min(TIMESTAMP '2026-10-14 09:30:00') AS result FROM input
    result
    2026-10-14 09:30:00
