# groupArray
Syntax: `groupArray(x)` or `groupArray(max_size)(x)`
Creates an array of argument values.
Values can be added to the array in any (indeterminate) order.
The second version (with the `max_size` parameter) limits the size of the resulting array to `max_size` elements. For example, `groupArray(1)(x)` is equivalent to `[any (x)]`.
In some cases, you can still rely on the order of execution. This applies to cases when `SELECT` comes from a subquery that uses `ORDER BY`.
**Example**
``` text
SELECT * FROM default.ck;
┌─id─┬─name─────┐
│ 1 │ zhangsan │
│ 1 │ ᴺᵁᴸᴸ │
│ 1 │ lisi │
│ 2 │ wangwu │
└────┴──────────┘
```
Query:
``` sql
select id, groupArray(10)(name) from default.ck group by id;
```
Result:
``` text
┌─id─┬─groupArray(10)(name)─┐
│ 1 │ ['zhangsan','lisi'] │
│ 2 │ ['wangwu'] │
└────┴──────────────────────┘
```
The groupArray function will remove ᴺᵁᴸᴸ value based on the above results.
- Alias: `array_agg`.
