7-Day Rolling Revenue Average

HardFreeQuerying BasicsWindow FunctionsSubqueries & CTEsAggregation & Grouping

Calculate a 7-day rolling average of daily revenue to smooth noise. First aggregate to daily revenue, then compute: day, daily_revenue, and rolling_7day_avg (average of current day + up to 6 preceding days, rounded to 2 dec). Sort by day. The first 6 rows will naturally have smaller windows — that is expected.

Hint

Use a CTE for daily totals, then AVG(daily_revenue) OVER (ORDER BY day ROWS BETWEEN 6 PRECEDING AND CURRENT ROW) for the rolling window
