Ranking Functions

use AdventureWorksDW

go

SELECT *,

  ROW_NUMBER() OVER(ORDER BY salesreasonreasontype DESC) AS RowNumber,

  RANK() OVER(ORDER BY salesreasonreasontype DESC) AS BasicRank,

  DENSE_RANK() OVER(ORDER BY salesreasonreasontype DESC) AS DenseRank,

  NTILE(3) OVER(ORDER BY salesreasonreasontype DESC) AS NTileRank

FROM

  DimSalesReason

 results returned by the SELECT statement.

Aggregate Functions

use AdventureWorksDW

go

SELECT

  title,departmentname,

  COUNT(baserate) OVER(PARTITION BY departmentname) AS CountryCount,

  SUM(baserate) OVER(PARTITION BY departmentname) AS TotalSales,

  AVG(baserate) OVER(PARTITION BY departmentname) AS AverageSales

FROM

  DimEmployee

ORDER BY

  title,departmentname DESC;
