Sample Solution:

-- Selecting the territory name, business entity ID, current year-to-date sales (SalesYTD), and the previous representative's year-to-date sales within each territory
SELECT TerritoryName, BusinessEntityID, SalesYTD,
       LAG(SalesYTD, 1, 0) OVER (PARTITION BY TerritoryName ORDER BY SalesYTD DESC) AS PrevRepSales
-- From the Sales.vSalesPerson view
FROM Sales.vSalesPerson
-- Filtering the data to include only territories specified in the list
WHERE TerritoryName IN ('Northwest', 'Canada')
-- Ordering the results by territory name
ORDER BY TerritoryName;

Explanation:

  • This SQL query retrieves data about sales representatives, including their territory name, business entity ID, current year-to-date sales (SalesYTD), and the previous representative's year-to-date sales within each territory.
  • The SELECT clause specifies the columns to be retrieved, including the result of the window function LAG.
  • The FROM clause indicates the source view Sales.vSalesPerson from which the data will be retrieved.
  • The WHERE clause filters the data to include only territories specified in the list ('Northwest', 'Canada').
  • The OVER clause with the LAG function calculates the previous representative's year-to-date sales (PrevRepSales) within each territory partitioned by TerritoryName and ordered by SalesYTD in descending order.
  • The ORDER BY clause arranges the results alphabetically by territory name for better readability.
