Calculation Functions Reference

This topic contains the descriptions of window functions that can be used to specify measure expressions.

Function Description Example Image
Last() Returns the number of rows from the current row to the last row in the window. Last() CalculationFunction_Last
First() Returns the number of rows from the current row to the first row in the window. First() CalculationFunction_First
Index() Returns the index of the current row in the window. Index() CalculationFunction_Index
Size() Returns the number of rows in the window. Size() CalculationFunction_Size
Lookup(SummaryExpression, Position) Returns the value of the expression in a target position specified as a relative offset from the current position. Lookup(Sum([Sales]), 3) CalculationFunction_Lookup -
RankCompetition(SummaryExpression, [ 'asc' 'desc' ]) Returns the standard competition rank for the current row in the window. RankCompetition(Sum([Sales]), 'asc') -

RankModified(SummaryExpression, [ 'asc' 'desc' ]) Returns the modified competition rank for the current row in the window. RankModified(Sum([Sales]), 'asc') -
RankPercentile(SummaryExpression, [ 'asc' 'desc' ]) Returns the percentile rank for the current row in the window. RankPercentile(Sum([Sales]), 'desc') -
RunningAvg(SummaryExpression) Returns the running average of the specified expression from the first row in the window to the current row. RunningAvg(Sum([Sales])) CalculationFunction_RunningAvg
RunningAggregate(SummaryExpression, CustomAggregateName) Returns the cumulative result of the custom function applied to specified expression from the first row in the window to the current row. RunningAggregate(Min([City]), 'StringConcat') RunningAggregateFunction
RunningCount(SummaryExpression) Returns the running count of the specified expression from the first row in the window to the current row. RunningCount(Sum([Sales])) -
RunningMax(SummaryExpression) Returns the running maximum of the specified expression from the first row in the window to the current row. RunningMax(Sum([Sales])) CalculationFunction_RunningMax
RunningMin(SummaryExpression) Returns the running minimum of the specified expression from the first row in the window to the current row. RunningMin(Sum([Sales])) CalculationFunction_RunningMin
RunningSum(SummaryExpression) Returns the running sum of the specified expression from the first row in the window to the current row. RunningSum(Sum([Sales])) CalculationFunction_RunningSum
WindowAggregate(SummaryExpression, StartOffset, EndOffset, CustomAggregateName) Returns the result of the custom function applied to the specified expression in the window. WindowAggregate(Min([CompanyName]), -1, 1, 'StringConcat') windowAggregateFunction
WindowAvg(SummaryExpression, StartOffset, EndOffset) Returns the average of the expression within the window, which is defined using offsets from the current row. WindowAvg(Sum([Sales]), First(), Last()) CalculationFunction_WindowAvg
WindowCount(SummaryExpression, StartOffset, EndOffset) Returns the count of the expression within the window. WindowCount(Sum([Sales]), First()+2, Last()) CalculationFunction_WindowCount_plus2
