How long are vehicle owners going between charges?

It's helpful to understand how long vehicle owners go between charging sessions. The distance_driven column serves as a good proxy for this - greater distances typically mean longer times between charges. This helps the finance team project revenue and the operations team ensure chargers are allocated correctly. Your job is to break vehicle owners into buckets to better understand these patterns.

You'll work with the ELECTRIC_VEHICLES schema in the database starting with COURSE_41767.

Open the window to a world of possibilities with Snowflake window functions! You'll get the ball rolling by differentiating window functions from traditional functions. Then, you'll learn how to provide a row number and ranking for each record in a query. Once you've nailed down the basics, you'll put the "window" in window functions, using PARTITION BY. You'll explore how to find and use the first and last value of a certain window before wrapping up with a sneak peek into aggregation functions.

Exercise 1: Assigning row numbers Exercise 2: Building a window function Exercise 3: Adding row numbers to charging sessions Exercise 4: Riding the heat wave Exercise 5: Ranking window functions Exercise 6: Was that a fast charge?Exercise 7: Comparing energy consumed Exercise 8: Partitioning data in a window function Exercise 9: Follow the money!Exercise 10: Digging into charging costs

Time to crank it up! In this chapter, you’ll take ranking functions to the next level. You’ll start with a variant of RANK, called DENSE_RANK, which handles ties in a bit of a different way. You’ll also explore a more robust version of the functions you saw in the previous lesson using NTH_VALUE. Next, you’ll create “buckets” of data using NTILE, which is more useful than you may think. You’ll also pick up a nifty little tool called CUME_DIST to find the number of records less than or equal to a certain record in a window. You’ll wrap up the chapter with one of the most powerful applications of window functions you’ve seen so far; LAG and LEAD.

Exercise 1: More Ranking Functions Exercise 2: Marketing the right vehicles Exercise 3: Optimizing charging scheduling Exercise 4: Setting a minimum charging cost Exercise 5: NTILE and CUME_DIST Exercise 6: Surveying vehicle owners Exercise 7: Evaluating charging duration Exercise 8: How long are vehicle owners going between charges?

You’ll start this final chapter with aggregation functions like AVG, COUNT, and SUM. You’ll compare the output of these functions to individual records in a window, as well as to perform additional calculations. After this, you’ll master the most exciting application of window functions; running and moving calculations! You’ll start by calculating running averages and totals for different metrics for electric vehicle charging. Finally, you’ll wrap up the course by generating moving totals and averages with a sliding window!
