GROUPING

Returns a bit mask indicating which GROUP BY expressions are not included in the current grouping set. Bits are assigned with the rightmost argument corresponding to the least-significant bit; each bit is 0 if the corresponding expression is included in the grouping criteria of the grouping set generating the current result row, and 1 if it is not included.

Note: GROUPING can only be used with GROUPING SETS, ROLLUP, or CUBE, and its arguments must be in the grouping sets list.

Arguments

Grouping sets items.

Return Type

UInt32.
