I have this table and data:
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[SalesTracking] ( [SalesDate] [datetime] NULL, [SalesPersonID] [int] NULL, [CustomerID] [int] NOT NULL, [PONumber] [varchar] (80) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NULL, [paid] [bit] NULL ) ON [PRIMARY] GO CREATE CLUSTERED INDEX [SalesTrackingCDX] ON [dbo].[SalesTracking] ([SalesDate]) ON [PRIMARY] GO INSERT dbo.SalesTracking (SalesDate, SalesPersonID, CustomerID, PONumber, paid, total) VALUES ('2024-03-15 10:45:55.067', 1, 1,'PO965' ,1, 100), ('2023-09-24 10:45:55.067', 1, 2,'PO627' ,1, 200), ('2022-07-02 10:45:55.067', 1, 3,'PO6' ,1, 300), ('2022-11-03 10:45:55.067', 1, 4,'PO283' ,1, 400), ('2022-11-26 10:45:55.067', 1, 5,'PO735' ,1, 500), ('2023-04-28 10:45:55.067', 1, 6,'PO407' ,1, 600), ('2022-09-09 10:45:55.067', 1, 7,'PO484' ,1, 700), ('2024-03-13 10:45:55.067', 1, 8,'PO344' ,1, 700), ('2024-04-24 10:45:55.067', 1, 9,'PO254' ,1, 800), ('2022-06-19 10:45:55.067', 1, 10,'PO344',1, 800) GOWhen I run this query, how many unique values are returned for the SaleRank column?
SELECT st.SalesDate , st.SalesPersonID , st.total , RANK () OVER (PARTITION BY st.SalesPersonID ORDER BY st.total desc) AS SaleRank FROM dbo.SalesTracking AS st;See possible answers
