-The [Window transformation in mapping data flow](data-flow-window.md) partitions your data by value in columns that you select as part of the ```over()``` clause in the transformation settings. There are a number of very popular aggregate and analytical functions that are exposed in the Windows transformation. However, if your use case is to generate a window over your entire dataset for the purpose of ranking ```rank()``` or row number ```rowNumber()```, it is recommended that you instead use the [Rank transformation](data-flow-rank.md) and the [Surrogate Key transformation](data-flow-surrogate-key.md). Those transformation will perform better again full dataset operations using those functions.
