CASE STUDY QUESTIONS

A. Data Cleansing Steps


In a single query, perform the following operations and generate a new table in
the data_mart schema named clean_weekly_sales:
1. Add a week_number as the second column for each week_date value, for
example any value from the 1st of January to 7th of January will be 1, 8th to
14th will be 2, etc.
2. Add a month_number with the calendar month for each week_date value as
the 3rd column
3. Add a calendar_year column as the 4th column containing either 2018, 2019
or 2020 values
4. Add a new column called age_band after the original segment column using
the following mapping on the number inside the segment value

segment age_band

1 Young Adults

2 Middle Aged

3 or 4 Retirees

5. Add a new demographic column using the following mapping for the first
letter in the segment values:

segment | demographic |
C | Couples |
F | Families |
6. Ensure all null string values with an "unknown" string value in the
original segment column as well as the
new age_band and demographic columns
7. Generate a new avg_transaction column as the sales value divided
by transactions rounded to 2 decimal places for each record
