percent_rank
ranking window function (Databricks SQL)
Computes the percentage ranking of a value within the partition.
Returns
A DOUBLE.
The function is defined as the rank within the window minus one divided by the number of rows within the window minus 1. If the there is only one row in the window the rank is 0.
As an expression the semantic can be expressed as:
nvl((rank() OVER(PARTITION BY p ORDER BY o) - 1) / nullif(count(1) OVER(PARTITION BY p) -1), 0), 0)
This function is similar, but not the same as cume_dist analytic window function (Databricks SQL).
You must include ORDER BY clause (Databricks SQL) in the window specification.
Examples
> SELECT a, b, percent_rank(b) OVER (PARTITION BY a ORDER BY b)
