WOW very informative, much better than databricks documentation. It would be cool to do something with time series and use dates, products and categories to ilustrate how useful this function can be in this context. Awesome!

[@DecisionForest]

Thank you Alejandro!

[@stevetrabajo4065]

9:25, on row 1, is it possible to make average_salary and total_salary as null because they are not in between -1 and window.currentRow?

[@MathwithMing]

Amazing stuff. It helped me keep my job. Thank you for posting.

[@DecisionForest]

This made my day, glad that you found it useful.

[@Ohy89]

I spent long time trying to understand window functions with no success. You doing an amazing job. Thank you!

[@DecisionForest]

Happy I could help!

[@oshinverma1787]

Great work! Please keep on posting

[@ChrisLovejoy]

Amazing! the other tutorials on this weren't great - this was fantastic, thanks

[@DecisionForest]

Thank you Chris!

[@aidataverse]

Thanks for such a wonderful explanation

[@1UniverseGames]

I was wondering. For Node analysis of a tree how can I create VectorCell() function in pyspark? As I have a pair of node, where this vectorcell gonna find Node exists or not, and is node in leaf or not and pair of node vector analysis? Do you have any video tutorial to create this node tree representation?

[@oussamadebboudz3771]

instead of rowsbetween() ... we also could use F.collect_set instead of list ... right ?

[@nferraz]

Amazing content! Keep the excelent work on yout channel.

[@DecisionForest]

Thank you Jose! Will do my best.

[@RajmohanBalachandran]

Thank you, I am able to understand window functions through a simple and clear explanation.

[@DecisionForest]

Glad you found it useful!

[@elzbietadoniek5810]

How can I use window partition by for all columns in a dataframe (Scala)?

[@DataTranslator]

extremely informative. Thank you.

[@arunasingh8617]

great explanation!

[@Mene0]

Very helpful, thanks

[@eduardopalmiero6701]

Hi! nice guide. Why when you order the window by asc salary the list salary and the other agg computed columns don't have the same result as when not ordered?

[@MrChaomen]

Do you know any in-depth guide about how spark computes window function physically? There're guides about physical implementation of joins and algorythms used, but I want to know what algorythm is used for window function and determine how it affects memory usage

[@ferrerolounge1910]

subscribed. Such clarity!

[@selimberntsen7868]

Amazing explanation! Thanks a lot, I found it difficult to wrap my head around this concept. However, it is much clearer now.

[@Aryan91191]

This was the best hands-on tutorial on the subject I have seen. Thank you. please post more examples.

[@DecisionForest]

Thank you! Will do!

[@JoaoVictor-sw9go]

For some use cases, it is basically the same as using the groupby and then joining the groupby result with the original dataframe, right?

[@gustavorocha6592]

Great video! Congrats

[@DecisionForest]

Thanks Gustavo!

[@mayankupadhyay4447]

How can we get value of first not null value from every column of pyspark dataframe?

[@imDanoush]

Great video thanks!

[@nestorguemez4846]

Great video man 😎🤙

[@DecisionForest]

Appreciate it, thank you!

[@alvinspark1875]

Very nicely done... Thanks bro

[@DecisionForest]

Cheers Alvin!

[@purnamaheshimmandi1212]

Helpful!

[@bhubannayak6155]

Hi Radu, Nice tutorial with clear explanation.Please also attach notebooks here that will be helpful.

[@ParthPatel-fp8lm]

Thanks for great explanatory example.

[@DecisionForest]

Thank you as well for the kind words. Happy it helped!

[@martinparent7564]

Nice trick listing the elements that go in computing sum and average, quite useful to debug! I don't quite get why ordering by salary changes the average and sum of salaries. From a "finance" point of view, a salary sort would not change the total weekly salary payout to employees. Is is that from a spark perspective, the "orderby" becomes an other grouping ?

[@DecisionForest]

Good question and yes, the total would be the same if you would average / add ALL of the values with a groupby. But with window functions using orderby we add / average over the values UP TO and including that value. That is why I listed the elements so you can see what is being added (compare output of cells 4 and 5, the list_salary column). Hope it makes sense now.

Great Video, appreciated !!

[@kevinfranciscochaconvargas8149]

Thanks man, well explained and an excellent example.

[@DecisionForest]

Cheers Kevin!

[@Dyslexic_Neuron]

excellent video ... Thanks

[@DecisionForest]

Thank you, glad you liked it!

[@prmurali1leo]

wow too good haven't seen anyone gone far to explain this. I have a question, is this very demanding and slower? (when the rows are around millions)

[@DecisionForest]

Thank you so much, glad it was helpful. To your question, if you run it on a cluster it will be pretty fast. Even if you run it locally if you have 16 cores it should perform well.

[@yueminzhou1869]

Thanks for the video Radu! It is very well explained! Are you using dataiku to present?

[@shyamraj1766]

Nice, it helps a lot

[@DecisionForest]

Glad to hear that!

[@pratyushraizada1472]

Nice explanation, thanks a lot!

[@DecisionForest]

That’s very kind, glad you enjoyed it!

[@gabrielalusquinos3913]

muchas gracias! un video muy fácil de seguir y de gran ayuda!

[@DecisionForest]

Gracias Gabriela!

[@sangilimurugansankarathand2464]

Nice Explanation.

Cheers Mahdi!

[@fuwizeye]

Great explanation

[@DecisionForest]

Glad it was helpful!

[@PeterS123101]

Thank you.

[@ramojiraoyalamati4035]

This videos on pyspark is informative if you provide code either by Jupiter or GitHub. it would be more helpful

[@DecisionForest]

Thank you, glad it was helpful. I do provide the jupyter notebook, you can find the link in the description.

[@tomgt428]

Cool
