Multivalue Field
A multivalue field contains more than one value.
Example
One typical use case for multivalue fields is security. For example, you can have a dataset that contains various accounts, and each account has multiple owner IDs. We’ve created a sample dataset called OppRoles where OwnerId is a multivalue field.
| Account ID | Amount | Owner.Name | Opportunity ID | Owner ID | Stage |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 001R00000046CHdIAM | 1,900,013 | Emily Dickinson | 006R0000002OF6eIAG | 005R0000000VU9bIAG, 005R0000000VU9bIAH, 005R0000000VU9bIAI | Closed Won |

This query filters on an OwnerId to display only the accounts that it can access.
1q = load "OppRoles";
2q = filter q by 'OwnerId' == "005R0000000VU9bIAG";
3q = foreach q generate 'AccountId' as 'AccountId', 'Amount' as 'Amount', 'Id' as 'Id', 'Owner.Name' as 'Owner.Name', 'OwnerId' as 'OwnerId', 'StageName' as 'StageName';| Account ID | Amount | Owner.Name | Opportunity ID | Owner ID | Stage |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|

The OwnerID value 005R0000000VU9bIAG has access to two of the three accounts, so two of the accounts
are displayed.
