Hi Olivier

can you please give me the structure of your table, maybee some sample data too.
And please describe in words not in SQL your calculation.

Regards Martin

Hi David,

Thanks for your answer, I tried your suggestion as well as many other combinations, no success. Here are some of them. I just don't understand which syntax is required

select roads,orders,(first_value(v1)

over (partition by roads,segment order by orders)-(nth_value(v2,cast(row_number() over (partition by roads,order by orders) as integer)) over (partition by roads,segment order by orders))) as result

from mytable

or

select roads,orders,(first_value(v1)

over (partition by roads,segment order by orders)-(nth_value(v2,row_number() over (partition by roads,order by orders)::integer)) over (partition by roads,segment order by orders))) as result

from mytable

>>syntax error near order (bold)

select roads,orders,(first_value(v1)

over (partition by roads,segment order by orders)-(nth_value(v2,row_number() over (partition by roads)::integer)) over (partition by roads,segment order by orders))) as result

from mytable

>> syntax error near over

select roads,orders,(first_value(v1)

over (partition by roads,segment order by orders)-nth_value(v2,row_number() over (partition by roads)::integer) over (partition by roads,segment order by orders)) as result

from mytable

>> window call cannot be imbricated

select roads,orders,(first_value(v1)

over (partition by roads,segment order by orders)-nth_value(v2,row_number() over (partition by roads,segment order by orders)::integer)) as result

from mytable

>> nth_value requires an over clause

select roads,orders,(first_value(v1)

over (partition by roads,segment order by orders)-nth_value(v2,row_number()::integer) over (partition by roads,segment order by orders)) as result

from mytable

>> row_number requires an over clause

nth_value(integer, bigint) doesn't exists.

This is close, you just need to cast to integer.

(cast(row_number() as integer) over (partition by roads,segments order by orders)))

You cannot separate the window function from its over clause.

Cast( Row_number() over (...) as integer )

Not tested...and I tend to use :: instead of cast
