Using a case when statement with dense_rank

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

Based on the conversations, it seems like you're interested in using a

CASE WHEN

statement with

DENSE_RANK()

.

DENSE_RANK()

is a function that assigns a rank to each unique value in a specific order, with no gaps in ranking values. This function is often used in SQL queries to rank rows based on certain criteria. Here's an example of how you might use

DENSE_RANK()

in a

CASE WHEN

statement:

sql
CASE 
  WHEN {condition} THEN DENSE_RANK() OVER (ORDER BY {field} DESC)
  ELSE {other action}
END

In this example,

{condition}

is the condition you're testing for,

{field}

is the field you're ordering by, and

{other action}

is what you want to happen when

{condition}

is not met. In the context of NetSuite, you might use

DENSE_RANK()

in a saved search to assign a unique rank to each record based on a specific field. For example, if you had a transaction search that was ordered by descending internal id, the formula would look like:

sql
DENSE_RANK() OVER (ORDER BY {internalid} DESC)

This would assign a unique rank to each transaction, with the highest internal id getting a rank of 1, the next highest getting a rank of 2, and so on. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
