Where to find Beast Mode documentation

Where can I find documentation on functions in Beast Mode such as median()?  Median is not listed in the reference guide  .  Also, where can I find documentation for the SQL functions we can use in Beast Mode such as PERCENTILE_CONT?

    @riley_finn , there isn't documentation on the set of functions available.

     

    you can see the list in the beast mode editor / creator. and most days of the week the functions will follow MySQL syntax.

     

    Median can be enabled using a feature switch (talk to your CSM) but that may be why the function isn't appearing in the UI.

     

    Regarding PERCENTILE_CONT, you're right, there are some undocumented functions.  For those it tends to be a little ... prayer and luck ?  you can use the syntax you see in Redshift or Vertica.  I suppose you could ask support, but usually I just look at Redshift or Vertica as a baseline.  but do check with your CSM to see if they can get you access to additional resources.

    Thanks for the insight.  Median works, so I'm assuming my CSM enabled it.  However, median still does not appear in the UI, i.e., the drop-down selector in the Beast Mode UI.
