SQL Weekly Sales Comparison

SQL Weekly Sales Comparison

MediumSQL · PostgreSQL

Problem

AT&T Operations Managers need a weekly view of sales performance across AT&T retail stores. Write a PostgreSQL query that aggregates net sales by store and calendar week, then compares each result with the same store's prior week.

Requirements

  1. Join sales to att_stores so the output includes the AT&T store name and region.
  2. Treat NULL sale amounts as zero and aggregate sales by store and Monday-based week.
  3. Include the prior week's sales, the dollar change, and percentage change. Return NULL for comparisons without a prior week or where the prior week's sales equal zero.
  4. Sort by store ID and week start date.
