# havingPredicate

The predicate used to filter rows being returned by a query containing a GROUP BY directive.

```
var havingPredicate: NSPredicate? { get set }
```

## Discussion

If a `havingPredicate` value is supplied, the predicate will be run after. Specifying a `havingPredicate` requires that [`propertiesToGroupBy`](/documentation/CoreData/NSFetchRequest/propertiesToGroupBy) also be specified.
