Total Spend Per Customer

EasySQL · PostgreSQL

Problem

Use SQL to find the total amount spent by each customer.

Return every customer represented in the data. Treat missing transaction amounts as contributing nothing to the customer's total.

Output

  1. One row per customer.
  2. Columns named customer_name and total_spent.
  3. Include all customers and sort by total_spent descending, then customer_name ascending to break ties.

Schema

ColumnTypeDescription
