# Refunds by country and currency ### The problem You want to get the total number of refunds associated with your orders over a selected date and time range, grouped by the different countries your organization sells in. For each country, you also want to group the results by currency. ### The solution #### Query You need to perform a [breakdown query](https://docs.commercelayer.io/metrics/getting-started/queries/breakdown) setting the required query keys as follows and adding the optional ones based on your needs:
KeyValue
byorder.country_code
fieldrefunds.id
operatorvalue_count
You also need to add a [nested breakdown](https://docs.commercelayer.io/metrics/queries/breakdown#nesting-breakdowns) setting the related query keys as follows:
KeyValue
byorder.currency_code
fieldrefunds.id
operatorvalue_count
#### Filter Make sure to set the desired date and time range using the `date_from` and `date_to` keys in the [filter](https://docs.commercelayer.io/metrics/getting-started/filters). In the example below, since the `date_field` isn't specified in the [date filter](https://docs.commercelayer.io/metrics/filters#date-filters), the default value `current_date` will be used, meaning that the results will count all the orders that changed their status within the selected date and time range ([read more](https://docs.commercelayer.io/metrics/filters#how-date_field-works) about this). ### [Try it on Postman](https://www.postman.com/commercelayer/workspace/commerce-layer-public-workspace/documentation/19711194-37a2d863-72f6-4b8f-8146-2f61d405fd3c?entity=request-19711194-1c793071-2d81-47ed-a088-520072a835ed) :rocket: ### Example {% tabs %} {% tab title="Request" %} The following request uses the Metrics API to get the total number of refunds, grouped by country and currency:
