anyLast

Selects the last value encountered, ignoring any NULL values by default. The result is just as indeterminate as for the any function.

Syntax

anyLast(column) [RESPECT NULLS]

Parameters

• column: The column name.

:::note Supports the RESPECT NULLS modifier after the function name. Using this modifier will ensure the function selects the first value passed, regardless of whether it is NULL or not. :::

Returned value

• The last value encountered.

Example

Query:

CREATE TABLE any_last_nulls (city Nullable(String)) ENGINE=Log;

INSERT INTO any_last_nulls (city) VALUES ('Amsterdam'),(NULL),('New York'),('Tokyo'),('Valencia'),(NULL);

SELECT anyLast(city) FROM any_last_nulls;

┌─anyLast(city)─┐
│ Valencia      │
└───────────────┘
