# Fixed

 Returns a fixed value specified by the 'value' parameter.\
        @param value Type can be string or number

This function is helpful when a user wants to get a fixed value from a dataset (or set of column values).

### Example 1: 

Step 1: Create an empty **fixed\_example** using AIOps studio as shown in the below screenshot.

![Empty 'fixed\_example' pipeline](/files/-Mc_fFcaO1KWfxQ_qqzx)

Step 2: Add the following pipeline code/commands into the above-created pipeline as shown in the below screenshot:

You can copy the below code into your pipeline and execute that in your environment.\
\
\&#xNAN;*`##### This pipeline creates a list of rows with sales amount (int values) for each month`* \
*`##### using AIOps studio.`*\
\
*`##### RDA function fixed is used to demo this example (along with groupby, sum)`*\
*`##### TOTAL is used as a variable on which sum is performed to get the total sales`*\
*`##### amount for all six months (RDA uses agg = "sum" to calculate sum of all sales`*\
*`##### and provide the output of the total amount. Here TOTAL is used as an additional`*\
*`##### dummy column to allow RDA to calculate the sum.`* \
\
*`@dm:empty`* \
*`--> @dm:addrow amount = 10000 & month = 'Jan'`*\
*`--> @dm:addrow amount = 15000 & month = 'Feb'`*\
*`--> @dm:addrow amount = 11000 & month = 'Mar'`*\
*`--> @dm:addrow amount = 18000 & month = 'April'`*\
*`--> @dm:addrow amount = 8000 & month = 'May'`*\
*`--> @dm:addrow amount = 10000 & month = 'June'`*\
*`--> @dm:map to = "TOTAL" & func = "fixed" & value = "TOTAL"`*\
*`--> @dm:groupby columns = "TOTAL" & agg = "sum"`*\
*`--> *dm:filter * get TOTAL, amount`*<br>

Step 3: Click verify button to make sure syntax and pipeline code is correct (as shown below)

Step 4:  Click execute button and execute the pipeline. RDA will execute the pipeline without any errors (as shown below)

Step 5: RDA uses the dm function 'fixed' to use a dummy column across all the available rows and provides a sum of 'amount' columns (which are defined in int') and provides an aggregate/sum value in the amount column after pipeline execution as shown in the below screenshot.
