Calculated field
INDEX()
Compute using: addressing Period; partitioning Region
Sample data
| Region | Period | Revenue | Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| Harbor | 1 | 120 | 70 |
| Harbor | 2 | 180 | 100 |
| Harbor | 3 | 180 | 120 |
| Harbor | 4 | 240 | 140 |
| Upland | 1 | 90 | 50 |
| Upland | 2 | 150 | 110 |
| Upland | 3 | null | 90 |
| Upland | 4 | 330 | 190 |
The same calculation as SQL
SELECT CAST((row_number() OVER (PARTITION BY "Region" ORDER BY "Period" ROWS BETWEEN UNBOUNDED PRECEDING AND CURRENT ROW)) AS DOUBLE) AS result FROM input ORDER BY "Region", "Period"
Runs the example above.
SELECT CAST((row_number() OVER (PARTITION BY "Region" ORDER BY "Period")) AS DOUBLE) AS result FROM input ORDER BY "Region", "Period"
Written for this dialect; not run here.
SELECT CAST((row_number() OVER (PARTITION BY `Region` ORDER BY `Period`)) AS FLOAT64) AS result FROM input ORDER BY `Region`, `Period`
Written for this dialect; not run here.
Result
| Region | Period | Revenue | Cost | result |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Harbor | 1 | 120 | 70 | 1 |
| Harbor | 2 | 180 | 100 | 2 |
| Harbor | 3 | 180 | 120 | 3 |
| Harbor | 4 | 240 | 140 | 4 |
| Upland | 1 | 90 | 50 | 1 |
| Upland | 2 | 150 | 110 | 2 |
| Upland | 3 | null | 90 | 3 |
| Upland | 4 | 330 | 190 | 4 |
Same rows from the calculation and from the SQL in DuckDB.
Where a naive translation goes wrong
- Omitting the region partition allows a calculation to consume marks from other regions.
Naive SQL
SELECT CAST((row_number() OVER ( ORDER BY "Period" ROWS BETWEEN UNBOUNDED PRECEDING AND CURRENT ROW)) AS DOUBLE) AS result FROM input ORDER BY "Region", "Period"
Region Period Revenue Cost result Harbor 1 120 70 1 Harbor 2 180 100 3 Harbor 3 180 120 5 Harbor 4 240 140 7 Upland 1 90 50 2 Upland 2 150 110 4 Upland 3 null 90 6 Upland 4 330 190 8 Matches the calculation
SELECT CAST((row_number() OVER (PARTITION BY "Region" ORDER BY "Period" ROWS BETWEEN UNBOUNDED PRECEDING AND CURRENT ROW)) AS DOUBLE) AS result FROM input ORDER BY "Region", "Period"
Region Period Revenue Cost result Harbor 1 120 70 1 Harbor 2 180 100 2 Harbor 3 180 120 3 Harbor 4 240 140 4 Upland 1 90 50 1 Upland 2 150 110 2 Upland 3 null 90 3 Upland 4 330 190 4
