I have a table that has an activity date of when things change such as
2020-08-13 123 Upgrade
2020-08-17 123 Downgrade
2020-08-21 123 Upgrade
Basically this in relation to a line there are 3 activities happening on this account. They have a basic account then they downgrade but then they upgrade again
I would like to have these happen in steps such as
2020-08-13 123 Upgrade1
2020-08-14 123 Upgrade1
2020-08-15 123 Upgrade1
2020-08-16 123 Upgrade1
2020-08-17 123 Downgrade1
2020-08-18 123 Downgrade1
2020-08-19 123 Downgrade1
2020-08-20 123 Downgrade1
2020-08-21 123 Upgrade2
.
.
.
2020-09-09 123 Upgrade2
Then I would like to partition them by their activity and see this in the end results so I can calculate how many users stayed in their downgraded state for more than 30 days to see their behavior compared to a upgraded change.
2020-08-13 123 Upgrade1. 1
2020-08-14 123 Upgrade1. 2
2020-08-15 123 Upgrade1. 3
2020-08-16 123 Upgrade1. 4
2020-08-17 123 Downgrade1. 1
2020-08-18 123 Downgrade1. 2
2020-08-19 123 Downgrade1. 3
2020-08-20 123 Downgrade1. 4
2020-08-21 123 Upgrade2. 1

2020-09-09 123 Upgrade2. 18
I have tried doing Coalesce then row_num but I can’t wrap my head around how to partition out each activity based on when they changed their account status.

Generate rows using posexplode(split(space(datediff(next_date,activity_date)-1),’ ‘)). Calculate new_group flag when previous activity<>current activity. Use analytic sum() to calculate group(partition) number. See comments in the code:
with mydata as (
select stack(3,
'2020-08-13', 123, 'Upgrade',
'2020-08-17', 123, 'Downgrade',
'2020-08-21', 123, 'Upgrade'
) as (activity_date, account, activity)
)
--calculate row_number in account, activity
select activity_date, account, activity, activity_partition,
row_number() over(partition by account, activity_partition order by activity_date ) activity_partition_rn,
count(*) over(partition by account, activity_partition ) days_on_activity
from
(--Calculate partition
select activity_date, account, activity,
concat(activity,
sum(new_group_flag) over(partition by account, activity order by activity_date rows between unbounded preceding and current row)
) activity_partition
from
(--Calculate new group flag
select activity_date, account, activity,
case when lag(activity) over (partition by account order by activity_date) = activity then 0 else 1 end as new_group_flag
from
( --generate Date range
select date_add(activity_date,i) as activity_date, account, activity
from
( --Get next_date to generate date range
select activity_date, account, activity,
lead(activity_date,1, activity_date) over (partition by account order by activity_date) next_date
from mydata d
) s lateral view posexplode(split(space(datediff(next_date,activity_date)-1),' ')) e as i,x --generate rows
)s
)s
)s
order by activity_date;
Result:
activity_date account activity activity_partition activity_partition_rn days_on_activity
