HardSQL · PostgreSQL

Problem

Write an SQL query using window functions to calculate each user's 7-day rolling average transaction amount and rank users within each day by total spend. Use the users and transactions tables. Include users with transactions in the output and calculate the rolling average over calendar days, including the current day.

Output

  1. One row per user and day with at least one transaction
  2. Columns: user_id, activity_date, daily_total_spend, rolling_7_day_avg_transaction_amount, and daily_spend_rank
  3. Sort by activity_date, daily_spend_rank, then user_id
