asked on

MS SQL Query + certain number of entries

I would like to run a query on a table of customer orders, i want to set a time frame, so looking at the last 3 months, and pulling a list of customer that have placed 7 orders in that time frame.

So would like to display the 7 orders in the last 3 month, so some might have place 7 in last 30 days, other may have too all 3 months, but i want to display the most recent, but only 7 of them.

How would i do this?

how is your table look like?

select column1,column2 (
select column1,  column2, row_number() over(partition by yourPKcolumn order by date desc) rn
) x
where x.rn < 8

customerID, orderdate, ordernumber are the fields i am looking to utilize

wouldnt your query pull anything less than 8, so if someone only placed 1 order they would show up?

yes and for the recent 7 orders

select customerID, orderdate, ordernumber (
select customerID, orderdate, ordernumber, row_number() over(partition by Customerid order by orderdate desc) rn
) x
where x.rn < 8

is there anyway to only pull customers with 7 orders, and if they have more than 7 only pull latest 7 ?
Try this,

select customerID, orderdate, ordernumber (
select customerID, orderdate, ordernumber, row_number() over(partition by Customerid order by orderdate, ordernumber desc) rn
from customers
) x
where x.rn < 8
