Sample Solution:

-- Common Table Expressions (CTEs) are used to define two temporary result sets: Sales_CTE and Sales_Quota_CTE.
-- Sales_CTE calculates the total sales for each salesperson per year.
WITH Sales_CTE (SalesPersonID, TotalSales, SalesYear) AS
(
    -- Selecting SalesPersonID, calculating the sum of TotalDue as TotalSales, and extracting the year from OrderDate as SalesYear
    SELECT SalesPersonID, SUM(TotalDue) AS TotalSales, DATE_PART('year', OrderDate) AS SalesYear
    FROM Sales.SalesOrderHeader
    -- Filtering out rows where SalesPersonID is not null
    WHERE SalesPersonID IS NOT NULL
    -- Grouping the results by SalesPersonID and the year extracted from OrderDate
    GROUP BY SalesPersonID, DATE_PART('year', OrderDate)
),
-- Sales_Quota_CTE calculates the total sales quota for each salesperson per year.
Sales_Quota_CTE (BusinessEntityID, SalesQuota, SalesQuotaYear) AS
(
    -- Selecting BusinessEntityID, calculating the sum of SalesQuota as SalesQuota, and extracting the year from QuotaDate as SalesQuotaYear
    SELECT BusinessEntityID, SUM(SalesQuota) AS SalesQuota, DATE_PART('year', QuotaDate) AS SalesQuotaYear
    FROM Sales.SalesPersonQuotaHistory
    -- Grouping the results by BusinessEntityID and the year extracted from QuotaDate
    GROUP BY BusinessEntityID, DATE_PART('year', QuotaDate)
)
-- The main query combines data from the two CTEs to calculate the difference between total sales and sales quota for each salesperson and year.
SELECT SalesPersonID
    , SalesYear
    , CAST(TotalSales AS VARCHAR(10)) AS TotalSales
    , SalesQuotaYear
    , CAST(TotalSales AS VARCHAR(10)) AS SalesQuota
    , CAST(TotalSales - SalesQuota AS VARCHAR(10)) AS Amt_Above_or_Below_Quota
FROM Sales_CTE
-- Joining Sales_CTE with Sales_Quota_CTE on SalesPersonID and SalesYear
JOIN Sales_Quota_CTE ON Sales_Quota_CTE.BusinessEntityID = Sales_CTE.SalesPersonID
                    AND Sales_CTE.SalesYear = Sales_Quota_CTE.SalesQuotaYear
-- Ordering the results by SalesPersonID and SalesYear
ORDER BY SalesPersonID, SalesYear;

Explanation:

• The query calculates the total sales and sales quota for each salesperson per year and then computes the difference between them.
• Two CTEs are defined: Sales_CTE and Sales_Quota_CTE, each responsible for computing total sales and total sales quota respectively.
• Sales_CTE calculates total sales by summing up the TotalDue column from the SalesOrderHeader table for each salesperson and year.
• Sales_Quota_CTE calculates total sales quota by summing up the SalesQuota column from the SalesPersonQuotaHistory table for each salesperson and year.
• The main query joins the two CTEs on SalesPersonID and SalesYear and calculates the difference between total sales and sales quota (TotalSales - SalesQuota).
• The results are ordered by SalesPersonID and SalesYear.

Sample Output:
