Data flows are available both in Azure Data Factory and Azure Synapse Pipelines. This article applies to mapping data flows. If you are new to transformations, please refer to the introductory article Transform data using a mapping data flow.

The Window transformation is where you will define window-based aggregations of columns in your data streams. In the Expression Builder, you can define different types of aggregations that are based on data or time windows (SQL OVER clause) such as LEAD, LAG, NTILE, CUMEDIST, RANK, etc.). A new field will be generated in your output that includes these aggregations. You can also include optional group-by fields.

Set the partitioning of column data for your window transformation. The SQL equivalent is the Partition By in the Over clause in SQL. If you wish to create a calculation or create an expression to use for the partitioning, you can do that by hovering over the column name and select "computed column".

Next, set the window frame as Unbounded or Bounded. To set an unbounded window frame, set the slider to Unbounded on both ends. If you choose a setting between Unbounded and Current Row, then you must set the Offset start and end values. Both values will be positive integers. You can use either relative numbers or values from your data.

The full list of aggregation and analytical functions available for you to use in the Data Flow Expression Language via the Expression Builder are listed in Data transformation expressions in mapping data flow.

However, the PC industry was diminishing and the competitive landscape was changing, with Google, Amazon, Apple, and Salesforce competing with Microsoft for the same customers. For Microsoft, continuing to operate in this market without a strategic change would mean a diminishing market cap and, possibly, a slow death. It would also mean a brain-drain of the best engineering minds from Microsoft to the competition. That is especially true as the competition started setting up offices in the Seattle area and coming after Microsoft engineering talent. As a result, Microsoft had to evolve despite the understandable push back from the public markets. The public market push back was natural after all. Evolution is risky because it requires increasing operating costs and reduced dividends, something that they never like. The market usually would rather prefer to keep the cash-cows and the high margins of Microsoft products and the reduced risk. For a publically traded company like Microsoft, evolution is basically a bet on the future that may or may not pay off. After all, only 1 in 3 companies is successful in this kind of transformation. Nonetheless, they decided to take the risk.

A Growth Mindset is what Microsoft adopted to evolve its strategy and its business in 2014. Carol S. Dweck, the psychology professor at Stanford wrote her famous book on the difference between a growth and a fixed mindset, which was exactly what Microsoft needed. They decided to take the risk, to go for a new strategy by building the emerging cloud business. This new strategy required a change in the culture to a new mindset, which Kathleen Hogan, the new Microsoft Chief People Officer, led very skillfully (Kathleen is a fellow GSBer).

The second incidence for me was when I saw a fixed/growth mindest signs (similar to the one in the picture) getting installed in every meeting room in the HQ buildings. While, in the beginning, it was an office joke, the engineers started slowly to take it more seriously and started adopting the new growth mindset. Having said that, it was a painful process internally, as some teams were evolving faster than others. Getting business done and decisions made were sometimes like pulling teeth during that transitional time. However, I could tell there was a change happening in the company culture overall.

Hi Pablo - without doing any more looking for just what that is, exactly, it looks like in this example, FlowAlongSrf might do what you want.

Make a surface from corner points (SrfPt) for the two shapes, and then FlowAlongSrf the circle from one to the other.

I had posted a plugin on message 12 of this thread that creates the Homographic (Projective 2d) transformation.

Sadly, the plugin looks to need an update before it will work properly in Ver 6. The Rhino 5 version still works well.

Behind the scenes, the plugin employs a technique similar to what Jeremy demonstrates above.

It refines the technique to maintain the fidelity and complexity of the incoming geometry.

Our continued digital transformation will enable Microsoft to further its mission of empowering every person and every organization of the planet to achieve more, and it starts right here at home, with MDEE. Every new challenge presents an opportunity to assess our role in the organization and how we can put Microsoft in an even better position to take on new challenges.

Leading with vision is the primary driver of our digital transformation. MDEE powers the company, and we are critical to both internal and external customers. To lead with vision, we need a clearly articulated view of where we want to take things and what we need to get there. Aligning our work to a larger vision of what we want to accomplish pushes us past day-to-day fire drills and comfortable routines to deliver something truly great for Microsoft. Each one of our groups has a clear, targeted vision grounded in what our customers need and what we need as an organization. However, articulating the vision is not enough. An inspired and productive vision must accurately reflect what we actually do.

Being vision-led means making difficult and specific choices about where we will focus our efforts, and which work we will need to postpone or simply not do. We ruthlessly prioritize, focusing on what to stop investing in as much as what to invest in next. We set a high bar for quality, delivery, cost, and compliance. Our approach includes observing important guidelines for how we implement our vision and how that informs our operations. This includes:

With this mindset and these guidelines for execution, we empower our employees to think strategically. We want them to continually have this question in their minds: What experience do customers have when interacting with Microsoft, and how can we make it better?

Microsoft employees are at the heart of our mission to enable and support our customers and partners to achieve more. We empower our employees to be their most creative and productive in how they work and collaborate across physical and digital environments. We use Microsoft products and services underpinned with Microsoft 365, AI, and machine learning to deliver connected, accessible, interactive, and individualized experiences for our employees. Our specific investments include:

Modern engineering focuses on providing a common set of tools and automation that delivers code and new functionality to our employees by enabling continuous integration and delivery practices. We prioritize the most effective outcomes for the business, delivering against a ranked backlog. We add telemetry to monitor customer usage patterns, which provides insights on the health of our services and customer experiences. We want to remove functional silos in our organization and increase the ways in which our infrastructure, apps, and services connect and integrate. Behind all this, we have a unified set of standards that protect and enable our employees. We engineer for the future by:

In MDEE, we have a unique opportunity to help our customers through their own transformations by sharing our best practices and lessons learned. As early adopters of Microsoft solutions, we provide feedback to our product-development teams and we co-develop solutions with them, which ultimately improves the products that we, and our customers, use to transform. Many of our product enhancements begin as internal solutions to business problems at Microsoft and then evolve within the feedback cycle, and then are incorporated into a final product. A key part of being customer zero is that we provide advice, guidance, and reference materials to customers based on our transformation blueprint and early adopter experience.

Space management and employee engagement are two critical aspects of any modern workplace, including internally here at Microsoft. Figuring out how to get both right leads to important questions: How can organizations understand the best use of their building spaces, including offices and common spaces, while providing better experiences for their employees? How can they...

To recognize the impressive achievements of our collaborators, we kicked off Microsoft Inspire by celebrating the finalists and winners in the 2023 Microsoft Partner of the Year Awards, which were announced in late June. The awards highlight partner success and innovation in an array of categories, across solution areas, industries, business transformation and social impact.
