**You:** Absolutely. Here's the SQL query you need:

```sql
INSERT YOUR QUERY HERE
select * from spends where amount between 30000 and 31000;
```

**Claire:** That's great, thanks. Hey, what about transactions that include the word 'fee' in their description?

**You:** Then here's the query for that:

```sql
INSERT YOUR QUERY HERE
select * from spends where description ilike '%fee%';

**Farnoosh:** Hi, it's me again. It turns out we also need the transactions that have the expense area of 'Better Hospital Food'. Can you help us with that one?

**You:** No worries. Here's the query for that:

```sql
INSERT YOUR QUERY HERE
select * from spends where expense_area_id = 2;
```

or

```sql
select s.*
from spends s
join expense_areas ea on s.expense_area_id = ea.id

great job showing alternative queries for this request!


**Claire:** Great, that's very helpful. How about the total amount spent for each month?

**You:** You can get that by using the GROUP BY clause. Here's the query:

```sql
CREATE YOUR QUERY HERE
select
to_char(date_trunc('month', date), 'Month') as month,
sum(amount) as total_amount
from spends
group by month;
```

nice work with the date formatting. the date is presented in a clear and easily readable format for the result.


**Farnoosh:** Thanks, that's really useful. We also need to know the total amount spent on each supplier. Can you help us with that?

**You:** Sure thing. Here's the query for that:

```sql
INSERT YOUR QUERY HERE
select
supplier_id as supplier,
sum(amount) as total_amount
from spends
group by supplier
order by supplier;
```

**Farnoosh:** Oh, how do I know who these suppliers are? There's only numbers here.

**You:** Whoops! I gave you ids to key the totals, but let me give you names instead.

```sql
INSERT YOUR QUERY HERE
SELECT
sp.supplier_id,
su.supplier,
SUM(sp.amount) as total_amount
FROM spends sp
JOIN suppliers su ON sp.supplier_id = su.id
GROUP BY sp.supplier_id, su.supplier
ORDER BY su.supplier;
```

or, if you don't want the supplier id

```sql
SELECT
su.supplier,
SUM(sp.amount) as total_amount
FROM spends sp
JOIN suppliers su ON sp.supplier_id = su.id
GROUP BY su.supplier
ORDER BY su.supplier;
```

**Claire:** Thanks, that's really helpful. I can't quite figure out...what is the total amount spent on each of these two dates (1st March 2021 and 1st April 2021)?

good work. also think of another sql function that would be useful in this case. what sql operator would allow you to specify multiple values in the where clause?

group by date;
```

**Farnoosh:** Fantastic. One last thing, looks like we missed something. Can we add a new transaction to the spends table with a description of 'Computer Hardware Dell' and an amount of £32,000?

The rows 'hardware', ' dell' and 'IT' don't exist in the other tables, what extra step is needed to populate them where necessary?
