Offset Functions (LAG/LEAD): Overview

Master LAG and LEAD functions for accessing previous and next row values

Calculate period-over-period changes and growth rates efficiently

Handle NULL values properly with default parameters

Implement time-series analysis patterns without complex self-joins

Use offset parameters to look multiple rows back or forward

Optimize offset function queries with proper indexing strategies
