DATEDIFF()

Problem Statement: As a data analyst in an eCommerce company, you want to


analyze customer purchase behavior by calculating the number of days
between each customer’s first and most recent purchase. This will help
identify customers who are becoming less active and inform retention
strategies.

date as FirstPurchaseDate, and the maximum (MAX) purchase date as

recent and the first purchase using DATEDIFF(MAX(PurchaseDate),
MIN(PurchaseDate)), and aliases it as DaysBetweenPurchases.

history of customers.

GROUP BY Clause: Groups the results by CustomerID to compute the first


and last purchase dates for each customer.

purchase interval exceeds 30 days.
