Problem

Explain your process for building a monthly reporting package in PostgreSQL. Focus on how you define the reporting month, validate source data, create monthly summaries, handle nulls or late-arriving records, and produce a consistent final output that could feed an IPG Health finance reporting deck.

What This Tests

  • Using date functions to define a monthly reporting window
  • Applying aggregations and GROUP BY at the correct grain
  • Basic data wrangling for nulls and inconsistent labels
  • Reconciling outputs before sharing results
