Example
An ad group that's scoped to the 'MyBrand' brand contains the following items:
| BRAND | TITLE | PRICE | DISCOUNT |
|---|---|---|---|
| MyBrand | Red shoes | $10.00 | 10% |
| MyBrand | Yellow shoes | $10.00 | 10% |
| MyBrand | Blue shoes | $10.00 | 5% |
| MyBrand | Crew socks | $5.00 | 20% |
| MyBrand | Dress socks | $5.00 | 20% |
| MyBrand | Knee-high socks | $5.00 | 15% |
In an ad template,
[to_text(min_with_max(DISCOUNT, PRICE))]
does the following:
- Scans the
PRICEcolumn and finds the items that share the highest price.
In this case, the function selects 'Red shoes', 'Yellow shoes' and 'Blue shoes' (which all specify a price of £10). - Scans the
DISCOUNTcolumn for 'Red shoes', 'Yellow shoes' and 'Blue shoes' and returns the lowest value.
In this example, the function returns 5 ('Blue shoes' has a 5% discount).
