bookChallenge: Year-over-Year Revenue Comparison

Task

Swipe to start coding

Your task is to calculate the year-over-year (YoY) revenue growth percentage for each month using the revenue table.

  • Group the revenue data by year and month.
  • Use a window function such as LAG() to get the previous year's revenue for the same month.
  • Calculate the YoY growth percentage using the formula: (current_year_revenue - last_year_revenue) / last_year_revenue * 100.
  • Your query should return the following columns:
    • year: the year of the revenue period.
    • month: the month of the revenue period.
    • total_revenue: total revenue for that year and month.
    • last_year_revenue: total revenue for the same month in the previous year.
    • yoy_growth_percent: the YoY growth percentage, as a numeric value (can be decimal).
  • Only include rows where last_year_revenue is not null (i.e., exclude the first year for each month).
