Time to crank it up! In this chapter, you’ll take ranking functions to the next level. You’ll start with a variant of RANK, called DENSE_RANK, which handles ties in a bit of a different way. You’ll also explore a more robust version of the functions you saw in the previous lesson using NTH_VALUE. Next, you’ll create “buckets” of data using NTILE, which is more useful than you may think. You’ll also pick up a nifty little tool called CUME_DIST to find the number of records less than or equal to a certain record in a window. You’ll wrap up the chapter with one of the most powerful applications of window functions you’ve seen so far; LAG and LEAD.

You’ll start this final chapter with aggregation functions like AVG, COUNT, and SUM. You’ll compare the output of these functions to individual records in a window, as well as to perform additional calculations. After this, you’ll master the most exciting application of window functions; running and moving calculations! You’ll start by calculating running averages and totals for different metrics for electric vehicle charging. Finally, you’ll wrap up the course by generating moving totals and averages with a sliding window!
