Aggregate functions
An aggregate function performs a calculation on a set of values, and returns a single value. Except for
COUNT, aggregate functions ignore null values. Aggregate functions are often used with the GROUP BY clause
of the SELECT statement

● MIN() Syntax

-- Returns the smallest value of the selected column --


SELECT MIN(column_name)
FROM table_name

● MAX() Syntax

-- Returns the largest value of the selected column


SELECT MAX(column_name)
FROM table_name
● Try:

SELECT MIN(SalesAmount) as Lowest_sales, MAX(SalesAmount) as highest_sales


FROM FactInternetSales
Aggregate functions

● COUNT() Syntax
-- Returns the number of rows that matches a specified criteria
SELECT COUNT([DISTINCT] columns_name/*)
FROM table_name

● AVG() Syntax
-- Returns the average value of a numeric column
SELECT AVG(column_name)
FROM table_name

● SUM() Syntax
-- Returns the total sum of a numeric column
SELECT SUM(column_name)
FROM table_name
Aggregate functions – Practice

Exercise 1: Write a query to determine the number of products in the DimProduct table.

Exercise 2: Write a query using the DimProduct table that displays the minimum, maximum,
and average ListPrice of all Product

Exercise 3: Write a query to determine the number of products in the FactInternetSales


table of all time.
Grouping with GROUP BY

• GROUP BY creates groups for output rows,


according
to unique combination of values specified in
the GROUP BY clause
• GROUP BY calculates a summary value for
aggregate functions in subsequent phases
• Detail rows are not available after GROUP BY
clause is processed

SELECT OrderDate
, MAX(SalesAmount) as highest_sales
, SUM(SalesAmount) as total_sales
FROM [FactInternetSales]
WHERE OrderDate >= '2011-01-01'
GROUP BY OrderDate
GROUP BY – Practice

Exercise 1: Write a query that displays the count of orders placed by each year for each
customer using the FactInternetsales table

Exercise 2: Write a query using DimProduct and DimProductSubcategory tables to display


number of product in each SubcategoryName
Filtering Groups with HAVING
HAVING clause provides a search condition that each group must satisfy
WHERE clause is processed before GROUP BY, HAVING clause is processed after
GROUP BY
SELECT column1, Aggregate Functions(column2)
FROM table_name
WHERE condition
GROUP BY column1
HAVING Aggregate Functions(column2) condition

SELECT MAX(SalesAmount) as highest_sales


, SUM(SalesAmount) as total_sales
, OrderDate
FROM [FactInternetSales]
WHERE OrderDate >= '2011-01-01'
GROUP BY OrderDate
HAVING SUM(SalesAmount) > 10000
HAVING – Practice

Exercise : The company is about to run a loyalty scheme to retain customers having total
value of orders greater than 5000 USD per year. From FactInternetSales table, retrieve the
list of qualified customers and the corresponding year.
Lesson 2: Window Functions

OVER Clause and Window Functions
► OVER Clause determines the partitioning and ordering of a rowset before the associated window
function is applied
► Window Functions calculate an aggregate value based on a group of rows and return multiple rows for
each group.
► ROW_NUMBER and RANK are similar. ROW_NUMBER numbers all rows sequentially (for example 1, 2, 3, 4,
5). RANK provides the same numeric value for ties (for example 1, 2, 2, 4, 5).
► Syntax:
ROW_NUMBER ()
OVER ( [ PARTITION BY value_expression , ... [ n ] ] order_by_clause )

RANK() OVER (
[PARTITION BY partition_expression, ... ]
ORDER BY sort_expression [ASC | DESC], ...)

● First, the PARTITION BY clause divides the rows of the result set partitions to which
the function is applied.
● Second, the ORDER BY clause specifies the logical sort order of the rows in each
a partition to which the function is applied
