To identify the last day, we need to partition/slice the data at the month level and sort the results in a manner that the last day of the partition is first. identify the last day of each month based on the dataset values.Q: How can you remove the last day of each month? SELECT year,month,day, temperature, lag(temperature) over (partition by '' order by year,month,day) as prev_temperature The following two statements are identical: SELECT year,month,day, temperature, lag(temperature) over (order by year,month,day) as prev_temperature We will cover the PARTITION BY clause in the following examples, but feel free to come back to this example and PARTITION your data by year and month to see how it behaves.įor now, keep in mind, you can also specify an empty set of columns for partition, and it will behave in the same manner to an OVER condition without a PARTITION BY clause. While LAG looks at previous values, LEAD looks forward.īoth LEAD and LAG also accept the PARTITION BY clause in the OVER condition. In our case, we only wanted to go one step back (previous day), therefore using the second parameter (default = 1) was not required. LAG can accept a second parameter, which determines how many steps to go back.
#POSTGRES LAG FUNCTION HOW TO#
We use the `order by` clause to specify how to sort the input before applying the lag function.
