Before you can do this exercise, you'll need to download and unzip this file (if you have any problems doing this, click here for help).

You need a minimum screen resolution of about 700 pixels width to see our exercises. This is because they contain diagrams and tables which would not be viewable easily on a mobile phone or small laptop. Please use a larger tablet, notebook or desktop computer, or change your screen resolution settings.

If you haven't already done so, run the SQL script in the above folder (copying and commercial use prohibited) to generate a database called MAM.  Also if you haven't already done so, run the spCreateCalendarTable stored procedure to create a calendar table.

Use the TOTALQTD and TOTALYTD functions to create quarter-to-date and year-to-date figures for the total quantity of items sold:

Quarter and year to date figures

You'll need to import the tblPos, tblTransaction and tblCalendar tables (also, don't forget to create a relationship between the calendar table and the point-of-sale one).

 

Save this workbooks as Drawn and quartered, then close it down.
