MySQL Query to get each sales per month - mysql

Question

I have 2 tables in Mysql. I want to regroup and count the Number of Orderid per month for each customer. If there is no order, I would like to add 0.
Customer Table
CustomerID
1
2
3
Order Table
OrderId CustomerID Date
1 1 2022-01-02
2 1 2022-01-04
3 2 2022-02-03
4 2 2022-03-03
Expect results
CustomerID Date CountOrderID
1 2022-01 2
2 2022-01 1
3 2022-01 0
1 2022-02 0
2 2022-02 1
3 2022-02 0
1 2022-03 0
2 2022-03 1
3 2022-03 0
How I can do this in Mysql?

Answer 1

SELECT customer.CustomerID,
year_month.y_m AS `Date`,
COUNT(order.OrderId) AS CountOrderID
FROM customer
CROSS JOIN (
SELECT DISTINCT DATE_FORMAT(`date`, '%Y-%m') AS y_m
FROM order
) AS year_month
LEFT JOIN order ON order.CustomerID = customer.CustomerID
AND DATE_FORMAT(order.`date`, '%Y-%m') = year_month.y_m
GROUP BY 1, 2;
If order table does not contains for some year and month then according row won't present in the output. If you need in it then you'd generate calendar table instead of year_month subquery.

Answer 2

you can reduce the number of cte's I added more here to explain the steps:
first you need the format year and month, for that I used DATE_FORMAT() function
since you need to have all the combination of dates and the year month you need a cross join. This will produce all the distinct dates with all the distinct customer id's. In other words all the pairs between dates and customer id
once you have a table with all the combinations you need to pass the actual data with the left join this will produce null where you actually don't have rows and hence will produce 0 when the count is performed
the last step is simply count function
with main as (
select distinct DATE_FORMAT(date,'%Y-%m') as year_month from order
),
calendar as (
select * from customer
cross join main
),
joining_all as (
select
calendar.*,
order. OrderId
left join order
on calendar.CustomerID = order.CustomerID
and calendar.year_month = DATE_FORMAT(order.date,'%Y-%m')
)
select
CustomerID,
year_month as Date,
count(OrderId) as CountOrderID
from joining_all
group by 1,2
maybe the shorter version can work with the code below. if runs into syntax you can use the one above
with main as (
select distinct DATE_FORMAT(date,'%Y-%m') as year_month from order
cross join customer
)
select
main.CustomerID,
main.year_month as Date,
count(order.OrderId) as CountOrderID
from main
left join order
on main.CustomerID = order.CustomerID
and main.year_month = DATE_FORMAT(order.date,'%Y-%m')
group by 1,2
