  • Thanks for sharing Jeremiah. Great stuff!

    By the way, I think I’ve seen similar queries before from a product that will remain unnamed 😉

    USE ContosoRetailDW;
    GO

    SELECT
    dd.DateDescription ,
    SUM(fs.SalesAmount) AS Sales,
    SUM(COALESCE(fs.DiscountAmount, 0)) AS Discount

    FROM dbo.FactSales AS fs
    JOIN dbo.DimDate AS dd
    ON fs.DateKey = dd.Datekey
    GROUP BY dd.DateDescription
    HAVING SUM(fs.SalesAmount) > AVG(fs.SalesAmount) ;
