Count distinct values with OVER(PARTITION BY id)

by

No, as the error message states, DISTINCT is not implemented with windows functions. Aplying info from this link into your case you could use something like:

WITH uniques AS (
 SELECT congestion.id_element, COUNT(DISTINCT congestion.week_nb) AS unique_references
 FROM congestion
WHERE congestion.date >= '2014.01.01'
AND congestion.date <= '2014.12.31'
 GROUP BY congestion.id_element
)

SELECT congestion.date, congestion.week_nb, congestion.id_congestion,
   congestion.id_element,
ROW_NUMBER() OVER(
    PARTITION BY congestion.id_element
    ORDER BY congestion.date),
uniques.unique_references AS week_count
FROM congestion
JOIN uniques USING (id_element)
WHERE congestion.date >= '2014.01.01'
AND congestion.date <= '2014.12.31'
ORDER BY id_element, date

Depending on the situation you could also put a subquery straight into SELECT-list:

SELECT congestion.date, congestion.week_nb, congestion.id_congestion,
   congestion.id_element,
ROW_NUMBER() OVER(
    PARTITION BY congestion.id_element
    ORDER BY congestion.date),
(SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT dist_con.week_nb)
    FROM congestion AS dist_con
    WHERE dist_con.date >= '2014.01.01'
    AND dist_con.date <= '2014.12.31'
    AND dist_con.id_element = congestion.id_element) AS week_count
FROM congestion
WHERE congestion.date >= '2014.01.01'
AND congestion.date <= '2014.12.31'
ORDER BY id_element, date
