Hi every one,

I would like to query the data by using the concept in SQL "Group by" like below

"SELECT user, DATE(timestamp), EXTRACT(HOUR FROM timestamp), floor\_name FROM location WHERE DATE(timestamp) BETWEEN "(d1) " AND "(d2) " GROUP BY DATEtimestamp), EXTRACT(HOUR FROM timestamp), user, floor\_name"

However in Elasticsearch, no matter I use "terms aggregation" or "date\_histogram", I got the count number....while I want to query the data than the count like below

user | date| hour |floor\_name  
Jason| 2020-04-19 | 7 | Floor 1  
Jason| 2020-04-19 | 8| Floor 1  
Jason| 2020-04-19 | 9| Floor 2  
Louisa | 2020-04-19 | 8 | Floor 2  
Louisa | 2020-04-19 | 9| Floor 5

group by the date hour of a user.

May I know how to write a ES queries to give the above result ? many thanks.

The SQL Group By queries are translated to [composite aggregations](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/search-aggregations-bucket-composite-aggregation.html). You could use the [translate SQL endpoint](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/sql-translate.html) to see how your SQL query translates to ES query DSL.
