    This document provides an overview of a lab on grouping sets and pivoting data using the AdventureWorksLT database. The lab contains two challenges: 1) modifying a query to retrieve regional sales totals with multiple grouping levels including a grand total and subtotals for each country/region and state/province, and 2) using the PIVOT operator to retrieve customer sales revenue for each parent category. Completing these challenges involves techniques like grouping sets, grouping_id, and pivot. Upon finishing, the next module to learn is on modifying data.

    Querying with Transact-SQL

    Lab 8 – Grouping Sets and Pivoti ng Data

    Overview
    In this lab, you will use grouping sets and the PIVOT operator to summarize data in the
    AdventureWorksLT database.

    Before starting this lab, you should view Module 8 – Grouping Sets and Pivoting Data in the Course
    Querying with Transact-SQL. Then, if you have not already done so, follow the instructions in the Getting
    Started document for this course to set up the lab environment.

    If you find some of the challenges difficult, don’t worry – you can find suggested solutions for all of the
    challenges in the Lab Solution folder for this module.

    What You’ll Need


     An Azure SQL Database instance with the AdventureWorksLT sample database. Review the
    Getting Started document for information about how to provision this.

    Challenge 1: Retrieve Regional Sales Totals


    Adventure Works sells products to customers in multiple country/regions around the world.

    1. Retrieve totals for country/region and state/province


    Tip: Review the documentation for GROUP BY in the Transact-SQL Language Reference.

    An existing report uses the following query to return total sales revenue grouped by country/region and
    state/province.
    SELECT a.CountryRegion, a.StateProvince, SUM(soh.TotalDue) AS Revenue
    FROM SalesLT.Address AS a
    JOIN SalesLT.CustomerAddress AS ca ON a.AddressID = ca.AddressID
    JOIN SalesLT.Customer AS c ON ca.CustomerID = c.CustomerID
    JOIN SalesLT.SalesOrderHeader as soh ON c.CustomerID = soh.CustomerID
    GROUP BY a.CountryRegion, a.StateProvince
    ORDER BY a.CountryRegion, a.StateProvince;

    You have been asked to modify this query so that the results include a grand total for all sales revenue
    and a subtotal for each country/region in addition to the state/province subtotals that are already
    returned.
    2. Indicate the grouping level in the results
    Tip: Review the documentation for the GROUPING_ID function in the Transact-SQL Language Reference.

    Modify your query to include a column named Level that indicates at which level in the total,
    country/region, and state/province hierarchy the revenue figure in the row is aggregated. For example,
    the grand total row should contain the value ‘Total’, the row showing the subtotal for United States
    should contain the value ‘United States Subtotal’, and the row showing the subtotal for California should
    contain the value ‘California Subtotal’.

    3. Add a grouping level for cities


    Extend your query to include a grouping for individual cities.

    Challenge 2: Retrieve Customer Sales Revenue by Category


    Adventure Works products are grouped into categories, which in turn have parent categories (defined in
    the SalesLT.vGetAllCategories view). Adventure Works customers are retail companies, and they may
    place orders for products of any category. The revenue for each product in an order is recorded as the
    LineTotal value in the SalesLT.SalesOrderDetail table.

    1. Retrieve customer sales revenue for each parent category


    Tip: Review the documentation for the PIVOT operator in the FROM clause syntax in the Transact-SQL
    language reference.

    Retrieve a list of customer company names together with their total revenue for each parent category in
    Accessories, Bikes, Clothing, and Components.

    Next Steps
    Well done! You’ve completed the lab, and you’re ready to learn how to insert, update, and delete data
    in Module 9 – Modifying Data in the Course Querying with Transact-SQL.
