SQL Server supports these analytic functions:

• CUME_DIST (Transact-SQL)
• FIRST_VALUE (Transact-SQL)
• LAG (Transact-SQL)
• LAST_VALUE (Transact-SQL)
• LEAD (Transact-SQL)
• PERCENT_RANK (Transact-SQL)
• PERCENTILE_CONT (Transact-SQL)  
• PERCENTILE_DISC (Transact-SQL)

Analytic functions calculate an aggregate value based on a group of rows. Unlike aggregate functions, however, analytic functions can return multiple rows for each group. Use analytic functions to compute moving averages, running totals, percentages or top-N results within a group.
