Top 10% Users By Transcript Volume

MediumSQL · PostgreSQL

Problem

Write a query to find the top 10% of users who generate the most meeting transcripts per week.

Use all available transcript records and exclude transcripts that cannot be associated with a user. Return one deterministic set of top users for each calendar week.

Output

  1. One row per selected user and week, with week_start, user_id, user_name, transcript_count, and weekly_rank.
  2. Include only the top 10% of active users in each week, rounding the required number up to the next whole user.
  3. Sort by week_start, then weekly_rank, then user_id.

Output details

  • Define each calendar week as Monday through Sunday, with week_start set to that Monday's date.
  • Sort week_start, weekly_rank, and user_id in ascending order.
  • Break equal transcript-count ties by ascending user_id before assigning weekly_rank.
