Hi all,
I have more than 1 set of columns I'm trying to normalize, can an unpivot transform handle 2 unpivots around DIFFERENT keys in the same transform?
If not, would the suggestion be unpivot into temp tables for whatever needs normalizing, than run an update query to generate the row that is desired?
Thanks in advance.

Dear All,
We are using UnPivot task to convert the columns into rows using the Excel File as source. But the Excel file column names are changing frequenly sometimes its having only 4 columns sometimes its 10 columns.
Everytime we are checking and unchecking the column list in Unpivot Task.
can anybody help us to solve this issue that Unpivot task should take the column name dynamically.
Thanks,
Syed

Hi Craig/Kamal,
I got your email address from your web cast. I really enjoyed the web cast and found it to be
very informative.
Our company is planning to use SSIS (VS 2005 / SQL Server 2005). I have a quick question
regarding the product. I have looked for the information on the web, but was not able to find
relevant information.
We are getting Source data from two of our client in the form of Excel Sheet. These Excel sheets
Are generated using reporting services. On examining the excel sheet, I found out that the name
Of the columns contain data itself, so the names are not static such as Jan 2007 Sales, Feb 2007 Sales etc etc.
And even the number of columns are not static. It depends upon the range of date selected by the user.
I wanted to know, if there is a way to import Excel sheet using Integration Services by defining the position
Of column, instead of column name and I am not sure if there is a way for me to import excel with dynamic
Number of columns.
Your help in this respect is highly appreciated!
Thanks,
Hi Anthony, I am glad the Web cast was helpful.
Kamal and I have both moved on to other teams in MSFT and I am a little rusty in that area, though in general dynamic numbers of columns in any format is always tricky. I am just assuming its not feasible for you to try and get the source for SSIS a little closer to home, e.g. rather than using Excel output from Reporting Services, use the same/some form of the query/data source that RS is using.
I suggest you post a question on the SSIS forum on MSDN and you should get some good answers.

Hi there,
I am a new member of this site and I am not very much aware of T-sql's working.
My question is what if I need to get one column's data to be the heading of another column.
To be very exact I have a school's database. The table I am talking about is of the results of students. The table contains Student ID, Subject ID, Total marks of the subject, Marks obtained in the subject. Now I want to print a report by generating data from this table. Right now the data is something like this
StuID - - - SubID - - - -Tot - - -Obt
1 - - - - - - -1 - - - - - - -50 - - - 38
1 - - - - - - -2 - - - - - - -50 - - - 41
1 - - - - - - -3 - - - - - - -50 - - - 42
1 - - - - - - -4 - - - - - - -50 - - - 40
2 - - - - - - -1 - - - - - - -50 - - - 35
2 - - - - - - -2 - - - - - - -50 - - - 40
2 - - - - - - -3 - - - - - - -50 - - - 42
2 - - - - - - -4 - - - - - - -50 - - - 41
StudentID and SubjectID fields are related to other tables so I can get the names from there but when I need the report I need the data in the form of
StuID - Sub 1 - - - Sub 2 - - - Sub 3 - - - -Sub4
1 - - - - 38 - - - - - - 41 - - - - - - 42 - - - - - - 40
2 - - - - 35 - - - - - - 40 - - - - - - 42 - - - - - - 41
The Subjects can be different for different students so the query should be dynamic instead of hard coding the names of the subjects. I hope I am clear with my question. The subjectIDs or their names will become the headings and they will contain the obtained marks for that subjects in their columns just for the reports. I have also checked the PIVOT function but was not able to do what I wanted.
Thanks.

Hello,I'm still extremely novice to SQL and I've tried googling how to produce this result but I've been encountering a lot dynamic sql commands which isn't exactly what I want. If this is an ignorant question I do apologize but heres my scenario: I have a table with columns of the day, for instance: Monday_hasData (bit)Monday_DataAnd what I want to do is essentially pass in "Monday" as a parameter and rather than doing an If statement on each row, I would like to just like to do something like assign @dayCheck + "_hasData" to a variable and then use @dayCheck as part of my query. Is this possible or am I going to have to have 7 cases? Thank you for any input,Chance

Hi everyone,
So I have to export from a SQL 2005 table to a dBaseIV table using SSIS. Easy enough, however the catch is that the tables being exported will vary. I can send variables to the the package calling the sql table name and creating the DBF file with the same columns on the fly.
The problem is mapping the columns. From what I've been reading there is no way to alter the mapping in a package at runtime. I was hoping that there would be some sort of auto mapping setting that would match on the field names but I guess not. Anybody run in to this issue and have a work around? Thanks in advance....

Got my first real job to do in SSIS and it's not really much fun. Here goes. I have excel files from various vendors, none of which are in the same format. Now I'm less concerned with the names, I have those in variables so that's not a big deal. My issue is around the column names. Let's say we have file a, b and c. In file a the first name field is called [first name], in file b it's first_name and in file c it's firstname. What I want to do is create 1 package that can handle these files regardless of how first name is spelled. I was thinking I could open the file and somehow search for a column name that contained the word "first%" and then map the column name to a variable. I'm sort of stuck though on how to actually do that. Help. And please don't tell me to tell the vendors to standardize. That's the end goal but it's like herding cats.

Hi guys 'n gals,
I am trying to achieve something a bit complex (or at least appears to be for me).
I have the following table structure:
UID, GroupID, ColumnName, ColumnValue
here is some example data:
UID, GroupId, ColumnName, ColumnValue
1, 1, MAC Address, 8a7sd87sad
2, 1, IP Address, 192.168.1.100
3, 1, Name, John
4, 2, MAC Address, 09a8sd098as
5, 2, Name, Steven
and here is what I would like the example to come out like:
GroupID, MAC Address, IP Address, Name
1, 8a7sd87sad, 192.168.1.100, John
2, 09a8sd098as, NULL, Steven
It needs to be completely dynamic though, as a new column name could be entered to the source table at any time...
I have tried Dynamic SQL and JOINs, but can only seem to get it to work correctly. I was starting to consider doing a loop similar to this:
Code Snippet
DECLARE @ColumnName varchar(128)
DECLARE @Sql varchar(255)
SELECT @ColumnName = [ColumnName] FROM tblSourceData
SELECT @Sql = 'SELECT [GroupId], [ColumnValue] AS ['+@ColumnName+'] FROM tblSourceData'
EXEC (@Sql)
Could somebody please point me in the right direction? I've heard a bit about Pivot tables in my search for this solution, is that perhaps the route I need to go?
Regards,
Justin

Hi,
I have to choose a particular column from a table whenever a condition met. That means i have to use the column in the select query whenever the condition met otherwise i have to create a dummy column with the same column name.
I tried to use the following sample query.
Eg:
Create table temp
(test_id int,
test varchar(100))
Declare @var varchar(100)
Set @Var='Hi'
Select
case when @Var='HI' then "None" else Test_new End as Test
from Temp
But it throw error as "Invalid column 'Test_new' "
As per my situation the Test_new column will be available in temp table whenever the condition is not met.So when @var<>'HI' i have to get the details of the test_new column otherwise i have to create a dummy column with the same name.

How can I make this stored procedure concept work:
-----------------------------------------------
Create Procedure MyProc @MyValue varchar(5)
As
Declare @ColumnName as varchar(11)
Set @ColumnName = 'Price_' + @MyValue
Select Sum(Price) As @ColumnName --????
From MyTable where Item = @MyValue
Return
-----------------------------------------------
Using @MyValue = 23 should make the Sum(Price) column name 'Price_23'. It's not working. What am I doing wrong?

I am unfortunately lumered with a table I cannot edit that stores a division 2 characters along with boolean fields '0506', '0607', '0708' ... (academic years) to represent if that particular division is active in the current academic year. This has made me have to resort to dynamic sql within a stored procedure to input the appropriate field names.
Is there a better way to do it, it's not mission critical to make it not use dynamic sql but I would prefer not to.

Ill start off by saying that I am an ASP.NET developer and I am self-taught in using SSRS2005. (quite poorly I might add) That being said I am having a problem with a report im building. This report has 10-12 different metrics I am reporting on and I have each of them displayed in their own matrix. The first matrix was created by the report wizard that launches when you add a new report.
To give you an overview of how I am setting up these reports I will describe the structure I am using on nearly all of the matrices. I am reporting on classes that are managed by my company and held at 3rd party locations. My matrix has the 3rd party location in the rows and the quarter the class was held is the column. Matrix setup looks like this:
________|_______Quarter____________
|MetricA|MetricB|MetricC|etc...
LocationA|
LocationB|
LocationC|
The problem Im having is this. All matrices that weren't created by the wizard don't grow dynamically. Say I have 2 quarters of data I am reporting on, Instead of having a column for quarter1 and quarter 2, the report generates separate matrices for each quarter. This is true for each matrix that I created using a matrix control from the toolbox. The matrix that was created by the wizard however, has dynamic columns that grow to the right as expected.
I am populating my datasets using Stored Procedures and the matrix that behaves normally uses a different dataset than the 4 others I have completed thus far which share a dataset.
I have looked everywhere I can think of for a checkbox or a property I need to adjust and I cant find one. Anyone have any ideas??

I'm looking for a way to use SSRS to display the contents of a returned dataset with 1-n columns. The number of columns is unknown at design time and the datasetview is using a stored procedure with 1 parameter to return the data. Does any one know if RDL supports wildcard(*) characters for field names or if there is another method.
I have this working via a web based custom aspx page but it would be VERY helpful to utilize all the document conversion features the SSRS reports provide via the web.
Thanks for any help.

Hi,
I have three tables.
The "Master table has a recordid, a masterID, a "IsSubField" and other stuff.
I need to do a join to a second table based on the MasterID...
However for each record, if the "IsSubField" has a True value then it has to use table A to JOIN to, where as if it's False, then it uses table B.
Make sense?
Anyone got any pointers?
Thanks in advance

im working on a report which shows the data based on the users input. I have used a matrix because I have no control on how many fields the users want, so practically we have a dynamic column here. My problem is that they require me to able the user to hide the columns he/she wishes to during runtime. We have a previous report that enables the user to hide it during runtime but it has static column. Any idea on how I could do it?... Thank you so much...

Hi, all,
Could some body give me little help on this? The UNPIVOT is new to sql05, and I did not find many useful helps out there.
My understanding is that it will normalize the data in column name (the UNPIVOT FOR part). As my sample shows here, I want to get that from one of the row.
Here is the sample, and of cause the Select PIVOT part is not working.
Also, if UNPIVOT is not the right way to go after it, what is the right way?
Thanks!
USE tempdb;
GO
If Object_ID('#pvtSales') IS NOT NULL
Drop table dbo.#pvtSales;
GO
Create Table #pvtSales (Prod_ID varchar(10), Prod_desc varchar(10), Col3 varchar(12), Col4 varchar(10), Col5 varchar(12), Col6 varchar(10), Col7 varchar(12), Col8 varchar(10))
INSERT INTO #pvtSales
Select '111', 'my goody', '1', '1.5', '0', '1.5', '1', '1.3' UNION ALL
Select '222', 'my stuff', '0', '0.5', '1', '0.5', '1', '1.0' UNION ALL
Select NULL, NUll, '2007-06-03', NULL, '2007-06-10', NULL, '2007-06-17', NULL UNION ALL
Select '333', 'my goody3', '1', '2', '0', '2', '1', '2'
Select Prod_ID, Prod_desc, Col3, Col4
FROM #pvtSales
UNPIVOT (Col4 for Col3 in (['06/03/2007'],['06/10/2007'],['06/17/2007']) AS U
The result I am looking for:
Prod_ID/Prod_desc/Sale/Cost/SaleDate
111/my goody/1/1.5/2007-06-03
111/my goody/0/1.5/2007-06-10
111/my goody/1/1.3/2007-06-17
222/my stuff/0/0.5/2007-06-03
