Above Function Examples
These examples are made with the above function, but may be applied in a similar manner to the below,
before and after functions. However, note that the before and after functions are relevant only to pivot
tables.
Example 1:
Study the straight table below, depicting the use of the above function in a one-dimensional table:
The third column shows the expression sum(Val) evaluated one row above the current row, which can be
confirmed by comparing with the values for sum(val) in the second column. The above function returns
NULL on the first row, as there is no row above on which to evaluate the expression. The above function
always returns NULL on all total rows.
The fourth column demonstrates the most typical use of this function, i.e. to calculate the difference between
e.g. different time periods.
Example 2:
Study the two-dimensional pivot table below:
