Instruction
Nice! We can also use additional filters when we calculate the total revenue in each category. For instance, if we wanted to show the total revenue in each category for orders placed in 2016, we could use the following query:
SELECT category_name, SUM(oi.amount) AS total_revenue FROM order_items oi JOIN orders o ON o.order_id = oi.order_id JOIN products p ON oi.product_id = p.product_id JOIN categories c ON p.category_id = c.category_id WHERE order_date >= '2016-01-01' AND order_date < '2017-01-01' GROUP BY category_name;
Note that to filter the order_date column, we joined the order_items and orders tables.
Exercise
Generate a history-to-date category revenue report based on orders shipped to the United States. The names of the columns should be category_name and total_revenue.
Stuck? Here's a hint!
Use the ship_country column. It should have the value 'USA'.
