ROWNUMBER Function	Generates a new column containing the row number as sorted by the `order` parameter and optionally grouped by the `group` parameter.
SESSION Function	Generates a new session identifier based on a sorted column of timestamps and a specified rolling timeframe.

Other Functions

Item	Description
COALESCE Function	Function returns the first non-missing value found in an array of columns.
RAND Function	The `RAND` function generates a random real number between 0 and 1. The function accepts an optional integer parameter, which causes the same set of random numbers to be generated with each job execution.
RANDBETWEEN Function	Generates a random integer between a low and a high number. Two inputs may be Integer or Decimal types, functions returning these types, or column references.
PI Function	The `PI` function generates the value of pi to 15 decimal places: 3.1415926535897932.
SOURCEROWNUMBER Function	Returns the row number of the current row as it appeared in the original source dataset before any steps had been applied.
IF Function	The `IF` function allows you to build if/then/else conditional logic within your transforms.
CASE Function	The `CASE` function allows you to perform multiple conditional tests on a set of expressions within a single statement. When a test evaluates to `true`, a corresponding output is generated. Outputs may be a literal or expression.
Ternary Operators	Ternary operators allow you to build if/then/else conditional logic within your transforms. Please use the `IF` function instead.
IPTOINT Function	Computes an integer value for a four-octet internet protocol (IP) address. Source value must be a valid IP address or a column reference to IP addresses.
IPFROMINT Function	Computes a four-octet internet protocol (IP) address from a 32-bit integer input.
RANGE Function	Computes an array of integers, from a beginning integer to an end (stop) integer, stepping by a third parameter.
HOST Function	Finds the host value from a valid URL. Input values must be of URL or String type and can be literals or column references.
DOMAIN Function	Finds the value for the domain from a valid URL. Input values must be of URL or String type.
SUBDOMAIN Function	Finds the value a subdomain value from a valid URL. Input values must be of URL or String type.
SUFFIX Function	Finds the suffix value after the domain from a valid URL. Input values must be of URL or String type.
URLPARAMS Function	Extracts the query parameters of a URL into an Object. The Object keys are the parameter's names, and its values are the parameter's values. Input values must be of URL or String type.
