About Windows Functions
Window functions are a powerful tool for data analysis, and can be used to create complex calculations in Power BI. A window function is a built-in aggregate that works with an OVER clause to calculate values across multiple rows of a partition or result set. This allows you to perform calculations on the current row relative to other rows within the same partition.
Examples of Window Functions in Power BI include:
- RankX: RankX returns the rank (ordinal position) of each item based upon its value compared with the values of other items within the same group. It takes two parameters - The expression that will be used to rank, and an optional "Order By" expression which defines how ranking should take place.
- PercentileX: Calculates one or more percentiles over a set of values in a table column using either linear interpolation between closest ranks or nearest rank methodologies.
- RunningTotalYTD: Returns running total year-to-date sum from start until current row context along given expression evaluated by calendar year boundaries defined by date columns provided as parameters.x
