    - unixdt(X;Y)
      Return a Unix-epoch time value given a string, date, or date+time value. (Available as of version 18.04)
  - Date Functions
    These functions provide a set of tools for performing common and advanced operations on dates in the 1010data Insights Platform Macro Language.
- Group functions (g_functions)
  Group functions, or g_functions, are used to perform operations, such as summarizations, on rows that have the same values in a set of given columns.
- Math functions
  Math functions are vector functions that perform mathematical operations on one or more columns and return a column of results based on the operation.
- Matrix functions
- Categorization functions
  Categorization functions are vector functions that organize data and determine logical groupings. These functions can be used for conditionalizing results and/or bucketing value ranges.
- String functions
  String functions are vector functions that manipulate vectors of strings to provide information about a string or substring, concatenate and split strings, or transform strings based on specified criteria.
- List functions
  List functions are scalar functions that return lists, subsets of lists, and combinations of lists, among other functionality. Lists, along with packages, are compound scalar data types that facilitate programmatic interaction with scalar data values and variables.
- Data-handling functions
  Data-handling functions are vector functions that return a hash value based on an input column or columns.
- Row functions
  Row functions are vector functions that return computational outputs for row inputs, as opposed to column outputs. Row inputs are defined as a space- or comma-separated list of column names.
- SQL compatibility functions
  SQL compatibility functions are functions that treat null values as SQL nulls.
- Financial functions
- System functions
  System functions are special functions in 1010data that return information about users, tables, and other system objects.
- Object functions
  The object functions can be used to check the existence, type, and accessibility of objects such as folders, tables, and queries on the 1010data Insights Platform.
- Miscellaneous functions
  This category of functions contains special functions that don't neatly fit into other categories of functions.

Time functions

These functions provide a set of tools for performing time-related operations in the 1010data Insights Platform Macro Language.

Using these functions, you can perform such actions as:

Determine the hour, minutes, or seconds of a particular time
Calculate the number of seconds since midnight for a given time
Ascertain the login date and time of the current session for a given time zone

Each function description contains the syntax, input values, return values, examples, and additional information related to that function.

Note: The time functions are different from the time series functions, which are a set of tools for sequencing and analyzing data stored in the 1010data Insights Platform system based on their order. See Time and order for more information.
