Group By Validation

If you want to run aggregations based on a particular set of columns or just the whole dataset, you can do so via group by validations. An example would be checking that the sum of amount is less than 1000 per account_id, year. The validations applied can be one of the validations from the basic validation set found here.

Record count

Check the number of records across the whole dataset.

validation().groupBy().count().lessThan(1000)
validation.groupBy().count().lessThan(1000)

Record count per group

Check the number of records for each group.

validation().groupBy("account_id", "year").count().lessThan(10)
validation.groupBy("account_id", "year").count().lessThan(10)

Sum

Check the sum of a columns values for each group adheres to validation.

validation().groupBy("account_id", "year").sum("amount").lessThan(1000)
validation.groupBy("account_id", "year").sum("amount").lessThan(1000)

Count

Check the count for each group adheres to validation.

validation().groupBy("account_id", "year").count("amount").lessThan(10)
validation.groupBy("account_id", "year").count("amount").lessThan(10)

Min

Check the min for each group adheres to validation.

validation().groupBy("account_id", "year").min("amount").greaterThan(0)
validation.groupBy("account_id", "year").min("amount").greaterThan(0)

Max

Check the max for each group adheres to validation.

validation().groupBy("account_id", "year").max("amount").lessThanOrEqual(100)
validation.groupBy("account_id", "year").max("amount").lessThanOrEqual(100)

Average

Check the average for each group adheres to validation.

validation().groupBy("account_id", "year").avg("amount").between(40, 60)
validation.groupBy("account_id", "year").avg("amount").between(40, 60)

Standard deviation

Check the standard deviation for each group adheres to validation.

validation().groupBy("account_id", "year").stddev("amount").between(0.5, 0.6)
validation.groupBy("account_id", "year").stddev("amount").between(0.5, 0.6)
