## timeSeriesDeltaToGrid[​](#timeSeriesDeltaToGrid "Direct link to timeSeriesDeltaToGrid")

Introduced in: v25.6.0

Aggregate function that takes time series data as pairs of timestamps and values and calculates [PromQL-like delta](https://prometheus.io/docs/prometheus/latest/querying/functions/#delta) from this data on a regular time grid described by start timestamp, end timestamp and step.
For each point on the grid the samples for calculating `delta` are considered within the specified time window.

Note

This function is experimental, enable it by setting `allow_experimental_ts_to_grid_aggregate_function=true`.

**Syntax**

```
timeSeriesDeltaToGrid(start_timestamp, end_timestamp, grid_step, staleness)(timestamp, value)
```

**Parameters**

- `start_timestamp` — Specifies start of the grid. [`UInt32`](/docs/sql-reference/data-types/int-uint) or [`DateTime`](/docs/sql-reference/data-types/datetime)
- `end_timestamp` — Specifies end of the grid. [`UInt32`](/docs/sql-reference/data-types/int-uint) or [`DateTime`](/docs/sql-reference/data-types/datetime)
- `grid_step` — Specifies step of the grid in seconds. [`UInt32`](/docs/sql-reference/data-types/int-uint)
- `staleness` — Specifies the maximum staleness in seconds of the considered samples. The staleness window is a left-open and right-closed interval. [`UInt32`](/docs/sql-reference/data-types/int-uint)

**Arguments**

- `timestamp` — Timestamp of the sample. Can be individual values or arrays. [`UInt32`](/docs/sql-reference/data-types/int-uint) or [`DateTime`](/docs/sql-reference/data-types/datetime) or [`Array(UInt32)`](/docs/sql-reference/data-types/array) or [`Array(DateTime)`](/docs/sql-reference/data-types/array)
- `value` — Value of the time series corresponding to the timestamp. Can be individual values or arrays. [`Float*`](/docs/sql-reference/data-types/float) or [`Array(Float*)`](/docs/sql-reference/data-types/array)

**Returned value**

Returns delta values on the specified grid. The returned array contains one value for each time grid point. The value is NULL if there are not enough samples within the window to calculate the delta value for a particular grid point. [`Array(Nullable(Float64))`](/docs/sql-reference/data-types/array)

**Examples**

**Basic usage with individual timestamp-value pairs**

```
WITH
    -- NOTE: the gap between 140 and 190 is to show how values are filled for ts = 150, 165, 180 according to window parameter
    [110, 120, 130, 140, 190, 200, 210, 220, 230]::Array(DateTime) AS timestamps,
    [1, 1, 3, 4, 5, 5, 8, 12, 13]::Array(Float32) AS values, -- array of values corresponding to timestamps above
    90 AS start_ts,      -- start of timestamp grid
    90 + 120 AS end_ts,  -- end of timestamp grid
    15 AS step_seconds,  -- step of timestamp grid
    45 AS window_seconds -- "staleness" window
SELECT timeSeriesDeltaToGrid(start_ts, end_ts, step_seconds, window_seconds)(timestamp, value)
FROM
(
    -- This subquery converts arrays of timestamps and values into rows of `timestamp`, `value`
    SELECT
        arrayJoin(arrayZip(timestamps, values)) AS ts_and_val,
        ts_and_val.1 AS timestamp,
        ts_and_val.2 AS value
);
```

```
┌─timeSeriesDeltaToGrid(start_ts, end_ts, step_seconds, window_seconds)(timestamp, value)─┐
│ [NULL,NULL,0,3,4.5,3.75,NULL,NULL,3.75]                                               │
└───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
```

**Using array arguments**

```
-- it is possible to pass multiple samples of timestamps and values as Arrays of equal size
WITH
    [110, 120, 130, 140, 190, 200, 210, 220, 230]::Array(DateTime) AS timestamps,
    [1, 1, 3, 4, 5, 5, 8, 12, 13]::Array(Float32) AS values,
    90 AS start_ts,
    90 + 120 AS end_ts,
    15 AS step_seconds,
    45 AS window_seconds
SELECT timeSeriesDeltaToGrid(start_ts, end_ts, step_seconds, window_seconds)(timestamps, values);
```

```
┌─timeSeriesDeltaToGrid(start_ts, end_ts, step_seconds, window_seconds)(timestamps, values)─┐
│ [NULL,NULL,0,3,4.5,3.75,NULL,NULL,3.75]                                                 │
