The nPath function matches specified patterns in a sequence of rows from one or more input tables and extracts information from the matched rows.



Typical nPath uses are:

  • Categorizing entities based on observed patterns; for example, distinguishing "loyal customers" from "price-sensitive shoppers."
  • Selecting relevant data from a data set and then inputting it to another function or a third-party data graph generator, such as the application that produced the following figure.
