I want to calculate the number of people who also had occurrence the previous day on a daily basis, but I’m not sure how to do this?
Sample Table:
x
| ID | Date |
+----+-----------+
| 1 | 1/10/2020 |
| 1 | 1/11/2020 |
| 2 | 2/20/2020 |
| 3 | 2/20/2020 |
| 3 | 2/21/2020 |
| 4 | 2/23/2020 |
| 4 | 2/24/2020 |
| 5 | 2/22/2020 |
| 5 | 2/23/2020 |
| 5 | 2/24/2020 |
+----+-----------+
Desired Output:
| Date | Count |
+-----------+-------+
| 1/11/2020 | 1 |
| 2/21/2020 | 1 |
| 2/23/2020 | 1 |
| 2/24/2020 | 2 |
+-----------+-------+
Edit: Added desired output. The output count should be unique to the ID, not the number of date occurrences. i.e. an ID 5 can appear on this list 10 times for dates 2/23/2020 and 2/24/2020, but that would count as “1”.

Answer
Use lag()
:
select date, count(*)
from (select t.*, lag(date) over (partition by id order by date) as prev_date
from t
) t
where prev_date = dateadd(day, -1, date)
group by date;
