For those who have used Dataflow in the past and migrated to Recipe recently, some of the syntax and functions are different from SAQL in Dataflow.
1. string
use ' instead of "
use ' instead of "
in SAQL, case when 'Data.Name' is null then "No" else "Yes" end
in the recipe, case when "Data.Name" is null then 'No' else 'Yes' end
2. operand in comparison
in the recipe, equal, use = instead of ==
unequal, use !=
3. operand logic
in the recipe, use AND or OR
4. instr() to replace index_of()
Syntax: instr(field, searchString, [position, [occurrence]])
instr('123!456!78!', !) -- the result is 4
instr('123!456!8!', !, [4]) -- the result is 7
instr('123!456!8!', !, [4, [2]]) -- the result is 9
case when instr(Email, '@ap') > 0 then 'APAC' when instr(Email, '@eu') > 0 then 'EMEA' else 'AMER' end
Syntax: instr(field, searchString, [position, [occurrence]])
instr('123!456!78!', !) -- the result is 4
instr('123!456!8!', !, [4]) -- the result is 7
instr('123!456!8!', !, [4, [2]]) -- the result is 9
case when instr(Email, '@ap') > 0 then 'APAC' when instr(Email, '@eu') > 0 then 'EMEA' else 'AMER' end
5. to_timestamp() to replace toDate()
in SAQL, case when 'Region' == "APAC" then toDate("2024-01-06 21:00:00")
else toDate("2024-01-07 11:00:00") end
in the recipe, case when "Region" = 'APAC' then to_timestamp('2024-01-06 21:00:00') else to_timestamp('2024-01-07 11:00:00') end
The output type from to_timestamp is Date Time.
6. Formula in Compute Relative
Make sure the "Multiple row formula" is selected
in SAQL, case when previous(CaseId) is null then "Yes" else "No" end
in the recipe, case when lag(CaseId) IS NULL then 'Yes' else 'No' end
7. format_number() to replace number_to_string()
in SAQL, case when 'OwnerHistory.OwnerChangeCount' is null then "00" else number_to_string('OwnerHistory.OwnerChangeCount',"00") end
in the recipe, case when "OwnerHistory.OwnerChangeCount" IS NULL then '00' else format_number("OwnerHistory.OwnerChangeCount", '00') end
8. Date/time comparison
in SAQL, case when ('CreatedDate_sec_epoch' >= StartDateTime_sec_epoch) && ('CreatedDate_sec_epoch' <= EndDateTime_sec_epoch) then "Yes" else "No" end
in the recipe, case when (to_unix_timestamp(CreatedDate) >= to_unix_timestamp(StartDateTime)) AND (to_unix_timestamp(CreatedDate) <= to_unix_timestamp(EndDateTime)) then 'Yes' else 'No' end
9. substr()
Formula substr() has no change in recipe
case when substr(OwnerId, 1, 3) = '00G' then 'Yes' else 'No' end
10. IN() function
in SAQL, Type in ["Transfer", "TransferredToSbrSkill"]
in the recipe, Type IN ('Transfer', 'TransferredToSbrSkill')
