SQL Window Functions for Campaign Ranking

MediumSQL · PostgreSQL

Problem

How would you write a SQL query using window functions to rank campaigns by performance within each advertiser and calculate running totals over time?

Use total conversions as the performance measure, based on daily campaign metrics.

Output

  1. One row per advertiser, campaign, and metric date.
  2. Return advertiser_id, advertiser_name, campaign_id, metric_date, daily_conversions, total_conversions, campaign_rank, and running_conversions.
  3. Rank campaigns within each advertiser by total conversions descending, with ties sharing a rank. Order by advertiser, rank, campaign, and date.
