SQL Rolling Average by City

MediumSQL · PostgreSQL

Problem

Write a SQL query using window functions to compute a 7-day rolling average of orders by city.

Use the orders table. Count only completed orders, exclude rows with a missing city, and treat dates without orders as zero-order days within each city's available date range.

Output

  1. One row per city and calendar date in that city's range
  2. Columns: city, order_date, daily_orders, and rolling_7_day_avg
  3. Include the current date and previous six calendar days in the average, rounded to two decimal places
  4. Sort by city, then order_date
