Syntax

GROUPJSONOBJECTMERGE(<string containing JSON Objects>)

Description

Merges all elements in a grouped series of JSON maps.

This is an aggregate function. 

Example

Given the following data:

GroupMap
Group1{"Andy":"Sales","Alba":Development","Anna":"Marketing","Affa":Management"}
Group1{"Jeff":"Sales","June":"Sales","Jack":"Development"}
Group2{"Sales":"Auto","Development":Auto","Marketing":"Hardware","Management":Auto"}
Group2{"Sales":"Hardware","Sales":Hardware","Development":"Hardware"}

First create a group using GROUPBY(#RawData!Groups)

GroupBy_Groups
Group1
Group2

Then use GROUPJSONOBJECTMERGE(#Sheet1!Map), and the results are the elements of the groups series merged by key.

GroupBy_GroupsGroup_Json_Object_Merge
Group1{"Andy":"Sales","Alba":Development","Anna":"Marketing","Affa":Management","Jeff":"Sales","June":"Sales","Jack":"Development"}
Group2{"Sales":"Hardware","Development":Hardware","Marketing":"Hardware","Management":"Auto"}

When JSON Objects with the same key are merged, the earlier key value(s) are overwritten by the following key value(s) in the group.
