## `ROW` [esql-row]

The `ROW` source command produces a row with one or more columns with values
that you specify. This can be useful for testing.

**Syntax**

```esql
ROW column1 = value1[, ..., columnN = valueN]
```

**Parameters**

`columnX`
:   The column name.
    In case of duplicate column names, only the rightmost duplicate creates a column.

`valueX`
:   The value for the column. Can be a literal, an expression, or a
    [function](/reference/query-languages/esql/esql-functions-operators.md#esql-functions).

**Examples**

:::{include} ../examples/row.csv-spec/example.md
:::

Use square brackets to create multi-value columns:

:::{include} ../examples/row.csv-spec/multivalue.md
:::

`ROW` supports the use of [functions](/reference/query-languages/esql/esql-functions-operators.md#esql-functions):
