Solution URL:
https://community.informatica.com/solutions/2345

Description:
The transformation language contains valuable functions that make it easy for populating
columns required for business reporting and analysis.
CUME and similar functions (such as MOVINGAVG and MOVINGSUM) can simplify reporting
by calculating running values.
Implementation Details:

The mapping uses the following file as source :

The inbuilt transformation functions are used to calculate cumulative total, 2-day Moving
Sum, 3-day MovingAvg for the sales quantity to populate the following target structure.
