Finds a group of items that share the lowest value for a specific attribute, and then returns the number of items that also share the same value of another attribute.
Note: This function is only available in Templates and can’t be used in Reporting.
Syntax
count_with_min(value, order_value)
Parameters
-
value: Any type of attribute or column (number, text, or boolean). The function returns the highest value of this attribute for one of the selected items. -
order_value: Any type of standard attribute or custom attribute (number, text, or boolean), though typically you specify numeric or monetary attribute. The function selects all items that share the highest value of this attribute.
If you specify a text attribute, the function sorts by lexicographic order and selects items at the beginning of the sort list.
Example
An ad group that's scoped to the "MyBrand" brand contains the following items:
| BRAND | TITLE | PRICE | DISCOUNT |
|---|---|---|---|
|
MyBrand
|
Red shoes | $10.00 | 10% |
|
MyBrand
|
Yellow shoes | $10.00 | 10% |
|
MyBrand
|
Blue shoes | $10.00 | 5% |
|
MyBrand
|
Crew socks | $5.00 | 20% |
|
MyBrand
|
Dress socks | $5.00 | 20% |
|
MyBrand
|
Knee-high socks | $5.00 | 15% |
- In an ad template,
[count_with_min(DISCOUNT, PRICE)]
does the following:
- Scans the
PRICEcolumn and finds the items that share the lowest price.
In this case, the function selects "Crew socks", "Dress socks", and "Knee-high socks" (which all specify a price of $5). - Scans the
DISCOUNTcolumn for "Crew socks", "Dress socks", and "Knee-high socks" and counts how many items specify the same value.
In this example, the function returns 2("Crew socks" and "Dress socks" both have a 20% discount).
- In an ad template,
[count_with_min(TITLE, PRICE)
returns 1, since all items with the lowest price have unique titles.
