F# group by more than one value and aggregate












1















F#. I have a list transactions of the following type:



type Transaction(Debitor: string, Spend:float, Creditor:string)  = 
member this.Debitor = Debitor
member this.Spend = Spend
member this.Creditor = Creditor


I know how to group by one value. Say for example I want to group per property Debitor, it's easy to use that property as the Key of the group:



let tsGroupDebitor =
transactions
|> Seq.groupBy(fun ts -> ts.Debitor)


However, I cannot manage to group per two values, say Debitor and Creditor. Ideally, I would like to group considering Debitor AND Creditor, while appling an aggregator function "Sum" for the Spend property.



In other words, I'd like to achieve the F# equivalent of the following LINQ query:



 var transactions_GroupSameDebitorCreditor = 
transactions
.GroupBy(ts => new { ts.Debitor, ts.Creditor }) // group by multiple values
.Select(gr => new
{
Debitor = gr.Key.Debitor,
Debit = gr.Sum(trans => trans.Spend), //sum the trans values per grouped relationships
Creditor = gr.Key.Creditor
});


Where a IEnumerable of anonymous type was returned.

          You can use a tuple as the group key like this:



          let tsGroupDebitor =
          transactions
          |> Seq.groupBy(fun ts -> (ts.Debitor, ts.Creditor))


          If you want to aggregate the transactions of each group to sum the Spend property, you can do it like this:



          let tsGroupDebitor =
          transactions
          |> Seq.groupBy(fun ts -> (ts.Debitor, ts.Creditor))
          |> Seq.map(fun ((debitor, creditor), values) -> ( debitor, creditor, values |> Seq.sumBy (fun t -> t.Spend)))


          Notice how I use pattern matching with the pattern ((debitor, creditor), values) to be able to access the two parts of the group key and the sequence of transactions for each group (values)
