MoM Active User Growth Rate

MediumSQL · PostgreSQL

Problem

Given a table of Snowflake user login sessions, calculate the month-over-month growth rate of active users, ensuring you handle edge cases where a month has zero activity.

Use the provided users and login_sessions tables. Treat a user as active once per calendar month if they have at least one login session. Include every calendar month between the first and last non-null login date.

Output

  1. One row per calendar month, ordered chronologically.
  2. Columns: month_start, active_users, previous_active_users, and growth_rate_pct.
  3. Return NULL for growth when the previous month has zero active users or no previous month.
