timeSlot

Rounds the time to the half hour.

This function is specific to Yandex.Metrica, since half an hour is the minimum amount of time for breaking a session into two sessions if a tracking tag shows a single user’s consecutive pageviews that differ in time by strictly more than this amount. This means that tuples (the tag ID, user ID, and time slot) can be used to search for pageviews that are included in the corresponding session.

Syntax

timeSlot(datetime)

Arguments

  • datetime- DateTime

Returned value

  • DateTime

Example

SELECT timeSlot(toDateTime('2018-01-01 01:01:01'))

timeSlots

For a time interval starting at ‘StartTime’ and continuing for ‘Duration’ seconds, it returns an array of moments in time, consisting of points from this interval rounded down to the ‘Size’ in seconds. ‘Size’ is an optional parameter: a constant UInt32, set to 1800 by default.

This is necessary for searching for pageviews in the corresponding session.

Syntax

timeSlots(StartTime, Duration,[, Size])

Arguments

  • StartTime- DateTime
  • Duration - Duration in seconds, UInt32
  • Size - Size of the interval.

Returned value

  • An array of timeSlot.

toTimeZone

Converts time or date and time to the specified time zone. The time zone is an attribute of the Date and DateTime data types. The internal value (number of seconds) of the table field or of the resultset's column does not change, the column's type changes and its string representation changes accordingly.

Syntax

toTimezone(value, timezone)

Arguments

  • value — Time or date and time. Date/DateTime.
  • timezone — Timezone for the returned value. String.

Returned value

  • Date and time. DateTime.

Example

SELECT toDateTime('2019-01-01 00:00:00', 'UTC') AS time_utc,
toTypeName(time_utc) AS type_utc,
toInt32(time_utc) AS int32utc,
toTimeZone(time_utc, 'Asia/Yekaterinburg') AS time_yekat,
toTypeName(time_yekat) AS type_yekat,
toInt32(time_yekat) AS int32yekat,
toTimeZone(time_utc, 'US/Samoa') AS time_samoa,
toTypeName(time_samoa) AS type_samoa,
toInt32(time_samoa) AS int32samoa
FORMAT Vertical;
Row 1:

time_utc: 2019-01-01 00:00:00
type_utc: DateTime('UTC')
int32utc: 1546300800
time_yekat: 2019-01-01 05:00:00
type_yekat: DateTime('Asia/Yekaterinburg')

time_samoa: 2018-12-31 13:00:00
type_samoa: DateTime('US/Samoa')
int32samoa: 1546300800

toTimeZone(time_utc, 'Asia/Yekaterinburg') changes the DateTime('UTC') type to DateTime('Asia/Yekaterinburg') . The value (Unixtimestamp) 1546300800 stays the same, but the string representation (the result of the toString() function) changes from time_utc: 2019-01-01 00:00:00 to time_yekat: 2019-01-01 05:00:00 .

toWeek

This function returns the week number for date or datetime. The two-argument form of toWeek() enables you to specify whether the week starts on Sunday or Monday and whether the return value should be in the range from 0 to 53 or from 1 to 53. If the mode argument is omitted, the default mode is 0.

toISOWeek() is a compatibility function that is equivalent to toWeek(date,3) .

The following table describes how the mode argument works.

ModeFirst day of weekRangeWeek 1 is the first week …
0Sunday0-53with a Sunday in this year
1Monday0-53with 4 or more days this year
2Sunday1-53with a Sunday in this year
3Monday1-53with 4 or more days this year
4Sunday0-53with 4 or more days this year
5Monday0-53with a Monday in this year
6Sunday1-53with 4 or more days this year
7Monday1-53with a Monday in this year
8Sunday1-53contains January 1
9Monday1-53contains January 1

For mode values with a meaning of “with 4 or more days this year,” weeks are numbered according to ISO 8601:1988:

  • If the week containing January 1 has 4 or more days in the new year, it is week 1.

  • Otherwise, it is the last week of the previous year, and the next week is week 1.

For mode values with a meaning of “contains January 1”, the week contains January 1 is week 1. It does not matter how many days in the new year the week contained, even if it contained only one day.

Syntax

toWeek(date, [, mode][, Timezone])

Arguments

  • date – Date or DateTime.
  • mode – Optional parameter, Range of values is [0,9], default is 0.
