Example
An ad group that's scoped to the "MyBrand" brand contains the following items:
| BRAND | TITLE | PRICE | DISCOUNT |
|---|---|---|---|
| MyBrand | Red shoes | $10.00 | 10% |
| MyBrand | Yellow shoes | $10.00 | 10% |
| MyBrand | Blue shoes | $10.00 | 5% |
| MyBrand | Crew socks | $5.00 | 20% |
| MyBrand | Dress socks | $5.00 | 20% |
| MyBrand | Knee-high socks | $5.00 | 15% |
In an ad template,
[to_string(min_with_min(DISCOUNT, PRICE))]
does the following:
- Scans the PRICE column and finds the items that share the lowest price.
In this case, the function selects "Crew socks", "Dress socks", and "Knee-high socks" (which all specify a price of $5). - Scans the DISCOUNT column for "Crew socks", "Dress socks", and "Knee-high socks" and returns the lowest value.
In this example, the function returns 15 ("Knee-high socks" have a 15% discount).
