Function: SUM

Syntax: SUM(field or expression)

Description: Sums a field or expression over all records, for each grouping (set of dimensions).

Sample usage:

  • SUM(additions) returns the sum of the additions field value, for each grouping. This calculation will return the total number of lines of code added in each grouping (e.g. per month).

  • SUM(1) is equivalent to COUNT() and returns the number of records in each grouping.

  • SUM(CONTAINS(label_names, "bug") ? 2 : 1) is a weighted count where records labeled as “bug” weigh twice as much as other records.
