I am trying to write an exists query to show me new customers.
I want to return the number of customers who bought this month but never bought before - anyone know how to do that ? There is other criteria the customers need to meet ( the brand they purchased, their country etc)

[code]
SELECT *
FROM Table t
WHERE BuyDate > = DATEADD(mm,DATEDIFF(mm,0,GETDATE()),0)
AND BuyDate < DATEADD(mm,DATEDIFF(mm,0,GETDATE())+1,0)
AND NOT EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM table WHERE CustomerID = t.CustomerID AND BuyDate < DATEADD(mm,DATEDIFF(mm,0,GETDATE()),0)
AND other conditions...)
AND other conditions....
[/code]
