I have a dataset in bigquery which contains order_date: DATE and customer_id.
x
order_date | CustomerID
2019-01-01 | 111
2019-02-01 | 112
2020-01-01 | 111
2020-02-01 | 113
2021-01-01 | 115
2021-02-01 | 119
I try to count distinct customer_id between the months of the previous year and the same months of the current year. For example, from 2019-01-01 to 2020-01-01, then from 2019-02-01 to 2020-02-01, and then who not bought in the same period of next year 2020-01-01 to 2021-01-01, then 2020-02-01 to 2021-02-01.
The output I am expect
order_date| count distinct CustomerID|who not buy in the next period
2020-01-01| 5191 |250
2020-02-01| 4859 |500
2020-03-01| 3567 |349
| . | .
and the next periods shouldn’t include the previous.
I tried the code below but it works in another way
with customers as (
select distinct date_trunc(date(order_date),month) as dates,
CUSTOMER_WID
from t
where date(order_date) between '2018-01-01' and current_date()-1
)
select
dates,
customers_previous,
customers_next_period
from
(
select dates,
count(CUSTOMER_WID) as customers_previous,
count(case when customer_wid_next is null then 1 end) as customers_next_period,
from (
select prev.dates,
prev.CUSTOMER_WID,
next.dates as next_dates,
next.CUSTOMER_WID as customer_wid_next
from customers as prev
left join customers
as next on next.dates=date_add(prev.dates,interval 1 year)
and prev.CUSTOMER_WID=next.CUSTOMER_WID
) as t2
group by dates
)
order by 1,2
Thanks in advance.

You can generate the periods using unnest(generate_date_array())
. Then use join
s to bring in the customers from the previous 12 months and the next 12 months. Finally, aggregate and count the customers:
select period,
count(distinct c_prev.customer_wid),
count(distinct c_next.customer_wid)
from unnest(generate_date_array(date '2020-01-01', date '2021-01-01', interval '1 month')) period join
customers c_prev
on c_prev.order_date <= period and
c_prev.order_date > date_add(period, interval -12 month) left join
customers c_next
on c_next.customer_wid = c_prev.customer_wid and
c_next.order_date > period and
c_next.order_date <= date_add(period, interval 12 month)
group by period;
