Hey there to everyone playing and exploring Data Explorer plugin! Thanks for helping with all the previous questions @michebs . I’ve got one more regarding data explorer queries. Has someone ever created a query that fetches % of active users by month? Active means they either liked or replied in some threads in that month, it doesn’t matter how many times but it needs to be at least 1. % is calculated based on the number of all members of the community. So let’s say we have two people who engaged in a month. One liked some post and the other one replied - so it’s two and we divide that by the sum. of all the members we have in our community.

I hope it helps. It is worth mentioning that the total number of users varies over time, so what is being considered in the query is the cumulative number of users up to the month and year that the action was performed. WITH tt_users_by_month AS ( SELECT date_part('year', created_at) AS year, date_part('month', created_at) AS month, COUNT(*) AS "new_users_month" FROM users WHERE id > 0 GROUP BY date_part('year', created_at), date_part('month', created_at) ORDER BY date_part('year', created_at) ASC, date_part('month', created_at) ), total_users AS ( SELECT year, month, SUM(new_users_month) over (ORDER BY year, month rows between unbounded preceding AND current row) AS total FROM tt_users_by_month ORDER BY year, month ) SELECT date_part('year', ua.created_at) AS year, date_part('month', ua.created_at) AS month, TRUNC(COUNT(DISTINCT user_id)::decimal/tu.total*100,2) AS "%" FROM user_actions ua INNER JOIN total_users tu ON (date_part('year', ua.created_at) = tu.year AND date_part('month', ua.created_at) = tu.month) WHERE action_type IN (1,5) GROUP BY date_part('year', created_at), date_part('month', created_at), total
