I was just looking through the documentation and forum to find aggregation functions. As far as I can tell and from what I see here, it looks like there is no “group by”-like functions intrinsic to data tables.
- Is that the case?
- Could we keep this conversation alive and move this post to a feature request? Or is there no overall motivation to add these functions? Is it just recommended to use these alternatives (pandas/itertools/sql) instead?
It would certainly simplify my code if data tables had built-in aggregation. It also looks like plenty of other people have had to create a plethora of alternatives.
