distinct count of concat (column) , row_number over partition by (column) - Why isn't this working?
Good morning
I'm curious if anyone has any insight into why this beastmode doesn't work, because if I could get this to work, it would solve a lot of work for me.
The beastmode that doesn't work for me is: COUNT(DISTINCT ( CONCAT(`hs_rpt_drivemaster.driveid`,'',row_number() over (partition by `hs_rpt_drivemaster.driveid`))))
It works up to the point that I add the count distinct function in
Meaning this works fine: row_number() over (partition by `hs_rpt_drivemaster.driveid`)
And this works fine: CONCAT(`hs_rpt_drivemaster.driveid`,'',row_number() over (partition by `hs_rpt_drivemaster.driveid`))
But once I try to count this Distinct Concat count, I get the dreaded "An issue has occurred during processing. We are unable to complete this request"
The reason I am trying to do a row number partitioned by "DriveID" is that DriveID's can have a 1st shift and a 2nd shift, creating 2 rows. However, we have no unique identifier of 2nd shifts, and not all drives have 2nd shifts. I am wanting a distinct count of shifts, not drives. So I was trying to do distinct count of concat ([driveA],[rownumber])
I have attached a snapshot of an example spreadsheet for a visual

Hi @HashBrowns
Domo doesn't like it when you try and take an aggregate (count) of another aggregate (row_number). There's some caveats to this with window functions but how you're utilizing this is why.
What I'd recommend you do is create a new Magic ETL (or a Dataset View if you have the beta) to perform your windowing (Rank & Window tile in ETL 2.0) to calculate your unique ID (row number then combine the fields together in another tile) then use that new column & dataset in your card to perform your count distinct.
