Microsoft Excel and Data Analysis Learning Community

Speaker: Joseph Ogbenna
Topic: Mastering SQL Window Functions

Abstract:
Most SQL users are comfortable with `GROUP BY`, `SUM()`, and `COUNT()`, but many business questions require more advanced analytical techniques. How do you rank top-performing products within each category? Calculate running sales totals without losing transaction-level detail? Compare a customer's current purchase to their previous one? Identify sales trends, customer inactivity, or consecutive periods of growth?

In this practical and hands-on webinar, participants will learn how to use SQL Window Functions in Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) to perform advanced analytical calculations that go beyond traditional aggregations. Through realistic sales, customer, and product data scenarios, we will explore powerful functions such as `ROW_NUMBER()`, `RANK()`, `DENSE_RANK()`, `LAG()`, `LEAD()`, and windowed aggregates to solve real business problems.

By the end of the session, attendees will be able to write more efficient analytical queries, generate deeper insights from data, and apply modern SQL techniques commonly used by experienced data analysts and business intelligence professionals.
