Hi,

I have a table that has dates and customers, I am trying to count the number of customers that signed up in the last hour up to that signed up. I have been trying to do a row_number count, but I am not sure how to add the "CREATE_DATE between 'CREATE_DATE and DATEADD(HOUR,-1,CREATE_DATE).

CREATE TABLE #CUSTOMERS
(
[CREATE_DATE] DATETIME,
CUSTOMERID INT
)


INSERT INTO #CUSTOMERS ([CREATE_DATE], CUSTOMERID) VALUES ('2020-01-31 16:59:07.000', 1001);
INSERT INTO #CUSTOMERS ([CREATE_DATE], CUSTOMERID) VALUES ('2020-01-31 16:59:07.000', 1002);
INSERT INTO #CUSTOMERS ([CREATE_DATE], CUSTOMERID) VALUES ('2020-01-31 16:59:07.000', 1003);
INSERT INTO #CUSTOMERS ([CREATE_DATE], CUSTOMERID) VALUES ('2020-01-31 16:59:07.000', 1004);
INSERT INTO #CUSTOMERS ([CREATE_DATE], CUSTOMERID) VALUES ('2020-01-31 12:34:01.000', 1005);
INSERT INTO #CUSTOMERS ([CREATE_DATE], CUSTOMERID) VALUES ('2020-01-31 12:34:01.000', 1006);
INSERT INTO #CUSTOMERS ([CREATE_DATE], CUSTOMERID) VALUES ('2020-01-31 13:10:52.000', 1007);
INSERT INTO #CUSTOMERS ([CREATE_DATE], CUSTOMERID) VALUES ('2020-01-31 13:11:19.000', 1008);
INSERT INTO #CUSTOMERS ([CREATE_DATE], CUSTOMERID) VALUES ('2020-01-31 13:12:54.000', 1009);
INSERT INTO #CUSTOMERS ([CREATE_DATE], CUSTOMERID) VALUES ('2020-01-31 13:13:08.000', 10010);
INSERT INTO #CUSTOMERS ([CREATE_DATE], CUSTOMERID) VALUES ('2020-01-31 13:13:39.000', 10011);

Something like this?
```
select CustomerID, Create_Date,
(select count(1)
from #Customers c1
where c1.Create_date between DateAdd(hour, -1, c.Create_date) and c.Create_date) as NumberOfSignups
--,Count(1)
from #Customers c
where c.Create_date between DateAdd(hour, -1, c.Create_date) and c.Create_date
order by 1
```

"I am trying to count the number of customers that signed up in the last hour "

select COUNT(*)
  from #CUSTOMERS
 where CREATE_DATE > DATEADD(HOUR,-1,CURRENT_TIMESTAMP)

Thanks, but that is not what I am looking for.

The end result should be CREATE_DATE, CUSTOMERID, NUMBEROFSIGNUPS

And each NUMBEROFSIGNUPS will give you the # of signups that were created on that last hour.

I was trying to add a row count but I am not picturing how to do it with the ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY CREATE_DATE.. but I dont think that is the answer.

It is not clear what your expected results are - can you show what you expect given the example data you provided?

I apologize for not being clearer. I need to count the number of signups that occurred on the last hour of that signup.

For example if we look at this data, when customer 10011 signed up, there were 7 signed up on that time (I did it on excel so I didn't count seconds)
