PERCENT_RANK function

Similar to the PERCENT function, the PERCENT_RANK function returns the rank for the value in the column specified in the window's ORDER BY clause, but expressed as a fraction between 0 an 1, calculated as (RANK - 1)/(- 1).

As the window moves down the input rows, the rank is calculated for the expression specified in the window's ORDER BY clause. If the ORDER BY clause includes multiple expressions, the second and subsequent expressions are used to break ties if the first expression has the same value in adjacent rows. NULL values are sorted before any other value (in ascending sequence).
