Write a query to return the following columns from the Show table.
We'll calculate new values using these columns.
Add a new column to the SELECT list which subtracts the Tickets_sold column from the Tickets_available column. Apply an alias to your new column to name it Unsold_tickets.
You may need to scroll down to see the first show with unsold tickets.
Add an ORDER BY clause to sort the shows in descending order of unsold tickets. You can use your column alias to do this.
That's a lot of unsold tickets!
Add a WHERE clause to return only shows which had at least 10000 unsold tickets.
You won't be able to use your column alias in the WHERE clause so you'll need to repeat the calculation in this part of your query.
Add another calculated column to the same query which divides the Revenue_$ column by the Tickets_sold column. Name this column Avg_ticket_price.
I'm not sure how accurate these numbers are!
Add another calculated column which multiplies the number of unsold tickets by the average ticket price. You won't be able to refer to your previous calculated columns which means you'll need to repeat both expressions in your new formula. Don't forget to use round brackets to control the order of operations!
Name the new column Lost_revenue.
Save the script as Lost Profits.sql and then close it.
