SQL Window Functions Running Total

EasySQL · PostgreSQL

Problem

Quadrint analysts need a product-level revenue trend for a reporting surface such as the Mission Operations Dashboard. Write a PostgreSQL query that summarizes completed sales by product and day, then calculates each product's running revenue total.

Requirements

  1. Include only sales with sale_status = 'completed' and matching products.
  2. Aggregate multiple sales for the same product and date into daily_revenue.
  3. Use a window function partitioned by product and ordered chronologically to calculate running_total.
  4. Treat NULL sale amounts as zero for the daily aggregation, and sort the final output by product name and date.
