Problem

EPAM Systems wants a daily revenue view for products sold through its digital services portfolio. Write a PostgreSQL query that reports revenue by product and date for the reporting period from 2025-01-01 through 2025-01-04.

Requirements

  1. Include every product and every date in the reporting period, including combinations with no completed sales.
  2. Calculate daily_revenue as quantity * unit_price, counting only sales with status = 'completed'. Treat missing revenue as zero.
  3. Calculate a cumulative running_total separately for each product, ordered chronologically.
  4. Calculate daily_change as the difference between the current day's revenue and the previous day's revenue for that product. Return NULL for the first date.
  5. Include the product category and sort the final output by product ID and date.
