}Example 1 - Analyze sales distribution
To bucket the distribution of sales per category within a store, run a query using the $log10 operator on the totalSales field. Then, bucket the categories into "Low", "Medium" and "High" based on the result.
db.stores.aggregate([{
$match: {
_id: "40d6f4d7-50cd-4929-9a07-0a7a133c2e74"
}
},
{
$project: {
name: 1,
salesAnalysis: {
$map: {
input: "$sales.salesByCategory",
as: "category",
in: {
categoryName: "$$category.categoryName",
originalSales: "$$category.totalSales",
logScale: {
$log10: "$$category.totalSales"
},
magnitudeClass: {
$switch: {
branches: [{
case: {
$lt: [{
$log10: "$$category.totalSales"
}, 3]
},
then: "Low"
},
{
case: {
$lt: [{
$log10: "$$category.totalSales"
}, 4]
},
then: "Medium"
},
{
case: {
$lt: [{
$log10: "$$category.totalSales"
}, 5]
},
then: "High"
}
],
default: "Very High"
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
])This query returns the following result:
