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.
