Summary

Analytics are magic. But as with most software products; I seem to use only one percent of the features, ninety nine percent of the time. Indeed, having built warehouses and reporting systems for the last eighteen months, I look back and see that I got a lot done with only three Analytics, SUM, LAG, and LEAD. Knowing how intimidating Analytics can look to those who have not used them, I figured I’d show the uninitiated, how to get in through the back door, with a reduced look at the capability. You can do a lot with very little. We are going to discuss just one Analytic, SUM used to create running totals.
