D s transforms

Excerpt

The The window transform transform enables you to perform summations and calculations based on a rolling window of data relative to the current row.  

For example, you can compute the rolling average for a specified column for the current row value and the three preceding rows. This transform is particularly useful for processing time or otherwise sequential data.

You can apply one or more functions to your your window transform transform step. 

Info

NOTE: Be careful applying this transform across a large number of rows. In some cases, the application can run out of memory generating the results, and your results can fail.

...

D code
window value: ROLLINGAVERAGE(myValues,3) order: MyDate group: customerId

Output:  Generates a new column called,   window, which contains the result of the the ROLLINGAVERAGE function function applied from the current row in the the myValues column column across the the 3 rows rows forward, ordered by by MyDate and and grouped by by customerId.

D s lang notes

value

For the the window transform, the the value parameter contains the function call or calls, which define the set of rows to which the function is applied.

This transform uses a special set of functions.  For more information on the available functions,  see   Window Functions.
