Running Total of Daily Revenue

EasySQL · PostgreSQL

Problem

Business context

MORSE needs a product-level revenue view for monitoring performance across its analytics surfaces. Revenue should include completed sales only, while products without completed sales should not appear in the result.

Task

Write a PostgreSQL query that calculates daily revenue and a chronological running total for each product from January 1 through January 5, 2024.

Requirements

  1. Join products to sales using product_id.
  2. Include only rows whose status is completed and whose sale_date is within the requested date range.
  3. Aggregate multiple sales for the same product and day into daily_revenue, treating NULL revenue as zero.
  4. Use a window function to calculate running_total independently for each product, ordered by sale date. Return products by name and date.
