16. 1. 4. Using the Ranking Functions

You use the ranking functions to calculate ranks, percentiles, and n-tiles.

  1. RANK() returns the rank of items in a group.
  2. RANK() leaves a gap in the sequence of rankings in the event of a tie.
  3. DENSE_RANK() returns the rank of items in a group.
  4. DENSE_RANK() doesn't leave a gap in the sequence of rankings in the event of a tie.
  5. CUME_DIST() returns the position of a specified value relative to a group of values.
  6. CUME_DIST() is short for cumulative distribution.
  7. PERCENT_RANK() returns the percent rank of a value relative to a group of values.
  8. NTILE() returns n-tiles: tertiles, quartiles, and so on.
  9. ROW_NUMBER() returns a number with each row in a group.
