Solutions
Solution 1: Group By + Sum
We can group the data by date, and then use the sum
function to calculate the difference in sales between apples and oranges for each day. If it is an apple, we represent it with a positive number, and if it is an orange, we represent it with a negative number. Finally, we sort the data by date.
