Advanced SQL with window function

I have Table a(Dimension table) and Table B(Fact table) stores transaction shopper history.

Table a : shopped id(surrogate key) created for unique combination(any of column 2,colum3,column4 repeated it will have same shopper id)

Table b is transaction data. enter image description here

I am trying to identify New customers and repeated customers for each week, expected output is below.

enter image description here

I am thinking following SQL Statement

Select COUNT(*) OVER (PARTITION BY shopperid,weekdate) as total_new_shopperid for Repeated customer, for Identifying new customer(ie unique) in same join condition, I am stuck on window function..

thanks,

Sam

Tejash's answer is fine (and I'm upvoting it).

However, Oracle is quite efficient with aggregation, so two levels of aggregation might have better performance (depending on the data):

select week_date,
       sum(case when min_week_date = week_date then 1 else 0 end) as new_shoppers,
       sum(case when min_week_date = week_date then amount else 0 end) as new_shopper_amount,
       sum(case when min_week_date > week_date then 1 else 0 end) as returning_shoppers,
       sum(case when min_week_date > week_date then amount else 0 end) as returning_amount
from (select shopper_id, week_date,
             sum(amount) as amount,
             min(week_date) over (partition by shopper_id) as min_week_date
      from t
      group by shopper_id, week_date
     ) sw
group by week_date
order by week_date;

Note: If this has better performance, it is probably due to the elimination of count(distinct).

You can use the DENSE_RANK analytical function along with aggregate function as follows:

SELECT WEEK_DATE, 
       COUNT(DISTINCT CASE WHEN DR = 1 THEN SHOPPER_ID END) AS TOTAL_NEW_CUSTOMER,
       SUM(CASE WHEN DR = 1 THEN AMOUNT END) AS TOTAL_NEW_CUSTOMER_AMT,
       COUNT(DISTINCT CASE WHEN DR > 1 THEN SHOPPER_ID END) AS TOTAL_REPEATED_CUSTOMER,
       SUM(CASE WHEN DR > 1 THEN AMOUNT END) AS TOTAL_REPEATED_CUSTOMER_AMT 
  FROM
      (
        select T.*, 
               DENSE_RANK() OVER (PARTITION BY SHOPPER_ID ORDER BY WEEK_DATE) AS DR
          FROM YOUR_TABLE T);
GROUP BY WEEK_DATE;

Cheers!!
