snowflake.snowpark.functions.min_by¶

snowflake.snowpark.functions.min_by(col_to_return: Union[Column, str], col_containing_minimum: Union[Column, str], maximum_number_of_values_to_return: Optional[int] = None) → Column[source]¶

Finds the row(s) containing the minimum value for a column and returns the value of another column in that row.

Example:

>>> df = session.create_dataframe([
...     [1001, 10, 10000],
...     [1020, 10, 9000],
...     [1030, 10, 8000],
...     [900, 20, 15000],
...     [2000, 20, None],
...     [2010, 20, 15000],
...     [2020, 20, 8000]
... ], schema=["employee_id", "department_id", "salary"])
>>> df.select(min_by("employee_id", "salary", 3).alias("min_by")).collect()
[Row(MIN_BY='[\n  1030,\n  2020,\n  1020\n]')]
