Returns a sha1 hash value of the source input.
hash_sha1(source)

| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| source | scalar | ✔️ | The value to be hashed. |
The sha1 hash value of the given scalar, encoded as a hex string (a string of characters, each two of which represent a single Hex number between 0 and 255).
Warning
The algorithm used by this function (SHA1) is guaranteed to not be modified in the future, but is very complex to calculate. If you need a "lightweight" hash function for the duration of a single query, consider using hash().
print
h1=hash_sha1("World"),
h2=hash_sha1(datetime(2020-01-01))
Output
| h1 | h2 |

The following example uses the hash_sha1() function to aggregate StormEvents based on State's SHA1 hash value.
StormEvents
| summarize StormCount = count() by State, StateHash=hash_sha1(State)
| top 5 by StormCount desc
Output
| State | StateHash | StormCount |
