lead_not_null¶
Description¶
Return the non-null value of one column in a following row across an ordered group.
offset is the number of rows forward from the current row to obtain a
value, and any null value does not count towards the offset. The function can
still return null if no non-null value is found in the window frame. If no
ordering is specified, the default ordering is that of the invoking verb, which
is generally the valid_from timestamp, ascending. In this case,
lead_not_null(col, 1) returns the next non-null value for column col.
Return type¶
