| /en/sql-reference/window-functions/ | 62 | Window Functions | Window Functions |
ClickHouse supports the standard grammar for defining windows and window functions. The following features are currently supported:
| Feature | Support or workaround |
|---|---|
ad hoc window specification (count(*) over (partition by id order by time desc)) |
supported |
expressions involving window functions, e.g. (count(*) over ()) / 2) |
supported |
WINDOW clause (select ... from table window w as (partition by id)) |
supported |
ROWS frame |
supported |
RANGE frame |
supported, the default |
INTERVAL syntax for DateTime RANGE OFFSET frame |
not supported, specify the number of seconds instead (RANGE works with any numeric type). |
GROUPS frame |
not supported |
Calculating aggregate functions over a frame (sum(value) over (order by time)) |
all aggregate functions are supported |
rank(), dense_rank(), row_number() |
supported |
lag/lead(value, offset) |
Not supported. Workarounds: |
1) replace with any(value) over (.... rows between <offset> preceding and <offset> preceding), or following for lead |
|
2) use lagInFrame/leadInFrame, which are analogous, but respect the window frame. To get behavior identical to lag/lead, use rows between unbounded preceding and unbounded following |
|
| ntile(buckets) | Supported. Specify window like, (partition by x order by y rows between unbounded preceding and unounded following). |
ClickHouse-specific Window Functions
nonNegativeDerivative(metric_column, timestamp_column[, INTERVAL X UNITS])
Finds non-negative derivative for given metric_column by timestamp_column.
INTERVAL can be omitted, default is INTERVAL 1 SECOND.
The computed value is the following for each row:
0for 1st row,{metric_i - metric_{i-1} \over timestamp_i - timestamp_{i-1}} * intervalfori_throw.

GitHub Issues
The roadmap for the initial support of window functions is in this issue.
All GitHub issues related to window funtions have the comp-window-functions tag.
Tests
These tests contain the examples of the currently supported grammar:

Syntax
aggregate_function (column_name)
OVER ([[PARTITION BY grouping_column] [ORDER BY sorting_column]
[ROWS or RANGE expression_to_bound_rows_withing_the_group]] | [window_name])
FROM table_name
WINDOW window_name as ([[PARTITION BY grouping_column] [ORDER BY sorting_column])
PARTITION BY- defines how to break a resultset into groups.ORDER BY- defines how to order rows inside the group during calculation aggregate_function.ROWS or RANGE- defines bounds of a frame, aggregate_function is calculated within a frame.WINDOW- allows to reuse a window definition with multiple exressions.
Functions
These functions can be used only as a window function.
row_number() - Number the current row within its partition starting from 1.
first_value(x) - Return the first non-NULL value evaluated within its ordered frame.
last_value(x) - Return the last non-NULL value evaluated within its ordered frame.
nth_value(x, offset) - Return the first non-NULL value evaluated against the nth row (offset) in its ordered frame.
rank() - Rank the current row within its partition with gaps.
dense_rank() - Rank the current row within its partition without gaps.
lagInFrame(x) - Return a value evaluated at the row that is at a specified physical offset row before the current row within the ordered frame.
leadInFrame(x) - Return a value evaluated at the row that is offset rows after the current row within the ordered frame.
