| Calculation | Description |
|---|---|
| 1st % - 99th % | 1st - 99th percentile value. |
| All nulls | True when all values are null |
| All unique values | Array with all unique values |
| All values | Array with all values |
| All zeros | True when all values are 0 |
| Change count | Number of times the field’s value changes |
| Count | Number of values in a field |
| Delta | Cumulative change in value, only counts increments |
| Difference | Difference between first and last value of a field |
| Difference percent | Percentage change between first and last value of a field |
| Distinct count | Number of unique values in a field |
| First | First value in a field |
| First* (not null) | First, not null value in a field (also excludes NaNs) |
| Last | Last value in a field |
| Last* (not null) | Last, not null value in a field (also excludes NaNs) |
| Max | Maximum value of a field |
| Median | Median value of all values in a field |
| Mean | Mean value of all values in a field |
| Min | Minimum value of a field |
| Min (above zero) | Minimum, positive value of a field |
| Range | Difference between maximum and minimum values of a field |
| StdDev | Standard deviation of all values in a field |
| Step | Minimal interval between values of a field |
| Total | Sum of all values in a field |
