Your question is Cleaning Dataset with SQL. Start with the requirements and the two tables on the right.

Run and submit as often as you like. When you're ready, talk me through your approach or go straight to the code.

You need to log in / sign up to run or submit.

Problem

Write a script that cleans a dataset by removing duplicates and filling in missing values.

Use the provided event and customer tables. Keep the latest record for each source event key, fill missing usage values with zero, and use the customer default plan when available.

Output

  1. One row per unique source event key
  2. Columns: source_event_key, customer_id, event_date, usage_units, plan_name
  3. Replace unresolved missing plans with Unknown and order by source_event_key
