# Aggregate functions {#aggregate-functions}
|
||
|
||
Aggregate functions work in the [normal](http://www.sql-tutorial.com/sql-aggregate-functions-sql-tutorial) way as expected by database experts.
|
||
|
||
ClickHouse also supports:
|
||
|
||
- [Parametric aggregate functions](parametric_functions.md#aggregate_functions_parametric), which accept other parameters in addition to columns.
|
||
- [Combinators](combinators.md#aggregate_functions_combinators), which change the behavior of aggregate functions.
|
||
|
||
## NULL processing {#null-processing}
|
||
|
||
During aggregation, all `NULL`s are skipped.
|
||
|
||
**Examples:**
|
||
|
||
Consider this table:
|
||
|
||
``` text
|
||
┌─x─┬────y─┐
|
||
│ 1 │ 2 │
|
||
│ 2 │ ᴺᵁᴸᴸ │
|
||
│ 3 │ 2 │
|
||
│ 3 │ 3 │
|
||
│ 3 │ ᴺᵁᴸᴸ │
|
||
└───┴──────┘
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Let’s say you need to total the values in the `y` column:
|
||
|
||
``` sql
|
||
SELECT sum(y) FROM t_null_big
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
┌─sum(y)─┐
|
||
│ 7 │
|
||
└────────┘
|
||
|
||
The `sum` function interprets `NULL` as `0`. In particular, this means that if the function receives input of a selection where all the values are `NULL`, then the result will be `0`, not `NULL`.
|
||
|
||
Now you can use the `groupArray` function to create an array from the `y` column:
|
||
|
||
``` sql
|
||
SELECT groupArray(y) FROM t_null_big
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
``` text
|
||
┌─groupArray(y)─┐
|
||
│ [2,2,3] │
|
||
└───────────────┘
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
`groupArray` does not include `NULL` in the resulting array.
