What Is Revenue Trend Analysis and Why Use SQL For It?

Revenue trend analysis is one of the most useful management tools available. It allows you to observe how the company performs and where it is in the market at any given moment. Knowing the trends allows you to plan your next activities, adjust appropriate strategies, and make key decisions based on reports and analyses.

Why is it so important? Without proper analysis, you act in the dark. How do you know when you are doing the right thing when you cannot measure the effect? You could be spending money on things that have no real impact on how your business functions. Revenue trend analysis helps answer such questions.

OK, but why use SQL for all of this? Well, the answer is simple – it is the best way to work with databases, especially relational ones.

Your company collects a lot of data. Most people know, for example, tables in Excel or Google Sheets and reports generated with these tools. Each of these sheets can be easily converted into tables in a database, with which you can receive the results of your analyses even easier and faster.

Excel is fine for many things. But with larger data sets, it is just too slow – it struggles. You can read more about it here.

Remember, revenue trend analysis is not just for accountants. It is extremely important for other departments – for example, marketing, sales, and management, that is, for anyone who makes decisions with it.

Gain Independence With Data Analysis in SQL

When you learn MS SQL Server, you become more independent. Why? You use the data and make conclusions yourself. You no longer depend on the IT department for it.

Do you remember your last email exchange with those guys? How long did you wait for the SQL report? Did it require any corrections? Were you able to explain to the IT team member what you needed for your presentation, and did he/she provide it to you? I have had bad experiences in many organizations, so I decided I had to learn it myself to use the data exactly as I want and need it.

If like me, you want to learn how to create SQL Reports, you can start by reading this. Your business can be more data-driven. Today, many entrepreneurs pay more attention to the democratization of data. It really pays off!
