How I used Window Functions to speed up my SQL project

The one SQL function I couldn't live without this week: Window Functions. 🤯 When you need to perform calculations across a set of table rows that are related to the current row (like running totals or rank), nothing beats a powerful Window Function like ROW_NUMBER(), RANK(), or LAG(). It saved me hours on a recent project where I needed to track user activity sequences. It's a game-changer for time-series analysis. If you're still doing this in Python/Pandas after pulling the data, trust me, learn to do it in SQL first. Your database and your query speed will thank you! What's your go-to advanced SQL function?
