Calculated field
WINDOW_AVG(SUM([Revenue]))
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((avg("Revenue") OVER (PARTITION BY "Region" ORDER BY "Period" ROWS BETWEEN UNBOUNDED PRECEDING AND UNBOUNDED FOLLOWING)) AS DOUBLE) AS result FROM input ORDER BY "Region", "Period"Runs the example above.
SELECT CAST((avg("Revenue") OVER (PARTITION BY "Region" ORDER BY "Period" ROWS BETWEEN UNBOUNDED PRECEDING AND UNBOUNDED FOLLOWING)) AS DOUBLE) AS result FROM input ORDER BY "Region", "Period"Written for this dialect; not run here.
SELECT CAST((avg(`Revenue`) OVER (PARTITION BY `Region` ORDER BY `Period` ROWS BETWEEN UNBOUNDED PRECEDING AND UNBOUNDED FOLLOWING)) AS FLOAT64) AS result FROM input ORDER BY `Region`, `Period`

Result
| Region | Period | Revenue | Cost | result |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Harbor | 1 | 120 | 70 | 180 |
| Harbor | 2 | 180 | 100 | 180 |
| Harbor | 3 | 180 | 120 | 180 |
| Harbor | 4 | 240 | 140 | 180 |
| Upland | 1 | 90 | 50 | 190 |
| Upland | 2 | 150 | 110 | 190 |
| Upland | 3 | null | 90 | 190 |
| Upland | 4 | 330 | 190 | 190 |
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.
