Tax amounts

A tax amount is the total amount of taxes that are associated with the purchase of an item, an order, or a unit.

You can access tax amounts attributes directly from the Segment Editor. To add these attributes to your segments, click Add criteria, select the Unified Itemized Transactions table (for Item Tax Amount and Unit Tax Amount) or the Unified Transactions table (for Order Tax Amount), apply a condition, and then specify a value.

Available conditions

The following table lists the conditions that are available to tax amount attributes.

Note

Tax amount attributes have a Decimal data type. All Decimal data types share the same set of conditions. Recommended conditions for this attribute are identified with “  More useful” and conditions with more limited use cases are identified with “  Less useful”.

Condition

Description

is

  Less useful

Returns a specific tax amount, such as “3.33”, “4.33”, or “5.33”.

Tip

Use the following conditions to return a range of tax amounts instead of a specific tax amount: is between, is greater than, is greater than or equal to, is less than, and is less than or equal to.

is between

  More useful

Returns a range of tax amounts that are between the specified tax amounts.

is greater than

  More useful

Returns tax amounts that are greater than the specified tax amount.

is greater than or equal to

  More useful

Returns tax amounts that are greater than or equal to the specified tax amount.

is in list

  Less useful

Avoid using the is in list condition; individual tax amounts are not typically made available in a list.

is less than

  More useful

Returns tax amounts that are less than the specified tax amount.

is less than or equal to

  More useful

Returns tax amounts that are less than or equal to the specified tax amount.

is not

  Less useful

Avoid using the is not condition.

For example, if you specified “3.33” then any tax amount less than or equal to “3.32” and any tax amount greater than or equal to “3.34” would be returned.

is not between

  Less useful

Discovers outlier tax amounts.

For example, if most of your tax amounts are between “3.33” and “5.33”, use “3.33” and “5.33” to return tax amounts that were less than and greater than those values.

is not in list

  Less useful

Avoid using the is not in list condition when tax amounts are not made available as a list.

is not NULL

Returns customer records that have a value, such as “3.33”, “4.33”, and “5.33”, but also ” ” (a space) and “0” (zero). If the record has any value it will be returned.

is NULL

Returns customer records that do not have a value.
