Rolling 7-Day Raw Material Average

MediumSQL · PostgreSQL

Problem

Given a table of inventory transactions, write a query to calculate the rolling 7-day average of raw material consumption at ATC Manufacturing.

Use transaction dates with non-null dates. Treat dates without qualifying raw material consumption as zero when they appear in the transaction data. The rolling average includes the current date and the preceding six calendar days.

Output

  1. One row per transaction date, ordered ascending.
  2. Columns: transaction_date, daily_consumption, and rolling_7_day_avg.
  3. Include only raw material consumption in the consumption values, rounded to two decimal places for the rolling average.
