Exercise

Previous and next values

What if you want to shift the values in a column by one row up or down? You can use the exact same steps as in the previous exercise but with two new functions, LEAD(), for the next value, and LAG(), for the previous value. So you follow these steps:

  • First, create partitions
  • Then, order by a certain column
  • Finally, use the LEAD() and/or LAG() functions as per your requirement
