 ] )
The following table describes the arguments for this function:
Argument

Description
value
Required
Any data type except Binary. Passes the values for which you want to return any row. You can enter any valid transformation expression.
filter_condition
Optional
Limits the rows in the search. The filter condition must be a numeric value or evaluate to TRUE, FALSE, or NULL. You can enter any valid transformation expression.

Return Value

Any value in the port or group. Return value might be different each time.
NULL if all values passed to the function are NULL, all values are empty, or no rows are selected. For example, the filter condition evaluates to FALSE or NULL for all rows.

Example

The following expression returns any row in the ITEM_NAME port with a price greater than $10.00: 
ANY( ITEM_NAME, ITEM_PRICE > 10 )

ANY and Complex Data Types

You can use ANY to return a row in a complex port of type array or struct.
For example, you have the following array: 
emp_phones =
[205-128-6478, 722-515-2889]
[107-081-0961, 718-051-8116]
[344-894-6463, 861-411-8361]
[107-031-0961, NULL]
You can use the following expression to return any row in the array port: 
ANY( emp_phones )
RETURN VALUE
: [205-128-6478, 722-515-2889]
