PERCENT_RANK

Syntax

PERCENT_RANK() OVER (
  [ PARTITION BY partition_expression ] 
  [ ORDER BY order_list ]
)

Description

PERCENT_RANK() is a window function that returns the relative percent rank of a given row. The following formula is used to calculate the percent rank:

(rank - 1) / (number of rows in the window or partition - 1)

Examples

create table t1 (
  pk int primary key,
  a int,
  b int
);


insert into t1 values
( 1 , 0, 10),
( 2 , 0, 10),
( 3 , 1, 10),
( 4 , 1, 10),
( 8 , 2, 10),
( 5 , 2, 20),
( 6 , 2, 20),
( 7 , 2, 20),
( 9 , 4, 20),
(10 , 4, 20);

select pk, a, b,
    rank() over (order by a) as rank,
    percent_rank() over (order by a) as pct_rank,
    cume_dist() over (order by a) as cume_dist
from t1;
