PIVOT Operator For Variable Number Of Transformations
Feb 19, 2007
Hi, i'm trying to port a pivot query from access to sqlserver.
I'm trying this query:
SELECT IDMerce, [1] AS [Department-1], [2] AS [Department-2], [3] AS
[Department-3], [4] AS [Department-4]
FROM (SELECT IDMerce, Pezzi, IDMagazzino
FROM Disponibilita) p PIVOT (sum(Pezzi) FOR
IDMagazzino IN ([1], [2], [3], [4])) AS pvt
this works, but in my case i don't know in advance how many transformations
i need, so there is a solution?
Thanks

I want to change the rows of the following table to columns to avoid repeatability:
Manufacturer
AOpen
Model
s661FXm s661FXm Intel P4
System Type
Motherboard
Standard Memory
N/A
Maximum Memory
2 GB
Sockets
2
Slots/Banks
2
Manufacturer
HP/COMPAQ
Model
Presario SR1917FR AMD Athlon 64 X2 3.06 GHz
System Type
Desktop
Standard Memory
1024 (1024MB x1 Removable)
Maximum Memory
4 GB
Sockets
4
Slots/Banks
4
Can this be done using Pivot Transformations? If yes then which column will have pivotusage and which will have pivotkeyvalue. I am getting a little confused here.
Please help!!!
Thanks

Hi all,
In MyDatabase, I have a TABLE dbo.LabData created by the following SQLQuery.sql:
USE MyDatabase
GO
CREATE TABLE dbo.LabResults
(SampleID int PRIMARY KEY NOT NULL,
SampleName varchar(25) NOT NULL,
AnalyteName varchar(25) NOT NULL,
Concentration decimal(6.2) NULL)
GO
--Inserting data into a table
INSERT dbo.LabResults (SampleID, SampleName, AnalyteName, Concentration)
VALUES (1, 'MW2', 'Acetone', 1.00)
INSERT €¦ ) VALUES (2, 'MW2', 'Dichloroethene', 1.00)
INSERT €¦ ) VALUES (3, 'MW2', 'Trichloroethene', 20.00)
INSERT €¦ ) VALUES (4, 'MW2', 'Chloroform', 1.00)
INSERT €¦ ) VALUES (5, 'MW2', 'Methylene Chloride', 1.00)
INSERT €¦ ) VALUES (6, 'MW6S', 'Acetone', 1.00)
INSERT €¦ ) VALUES (7, 'MW6S', 'Dichloroethene', 1.00)
INSERT €¦ ) VALUES (8, 'MW6S', 'Trichloroethene', 1.00)
INSERT €¦ ) VALUES (9, 'MW6S', 'Chloroform', 1.00)
INSERT €¦ ) VALUES (10, 'MW6S', 'Methylene Chloride', 1.00)
INSERT €¦ ) VALUES (11, 'MW7', 'Acetone', 1.00)
INSERT €¦ ) VALUES (12, 'MW7', 'Dichloroethene', 1.00)
INSERT €¦ ) VALUES (13, 'MW7', 'Trichloroethene', 1.00)
INSERT €¦ ) VALUES (14, 'MW7', 'Chloroform', 1.00)
INSERT €¦ ) VALUES (15, 'MW7', 'Methylene Chloride', 1.00)
INSERT €¦ ) VALUES (16, 'TripBlank', 'Acetone', 1.00)
INSERT €¦ ) VALUES (17, 'TripBlank', 'Dichloroethene', 1.00)
INSERT €¦ ) VALUES (18, 'TripBlank', 'Trichloroethene', 1.00)
INSERT €¦ ) VALUES (19, 'TripBlank', 'Chloroform', 0.76)
INSERT €¦ ) VALUES (20, 'TripBlank', 'Methylene Chloride', 0.51)
GO
A desired Pivot Table is like:
MW2 MW6S MW7 TripBlank
Acetone 1.00 1.00 1.00 1.00
Dichloroethene 1.00 1.00 1.00 1.00
Trichloroethene 20.00 1.00 1.00 1.00
Chloroform 1.00 1.00 1.00 0.76
Methylene Chloride 1.00 1.00 1.00 0.51
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
I write the following SQLQuery.sql code for creating a Pivot Table from the Table dbo.LabData by using the PIVOT operator:
USE MyDatabase
GO
USE TABLE dbo.LabData
GO
SELECT AnalyteName, [1] AS MW2, AS MW6S, [11] AS MW7, [16] AS TripBlank
FROM
(SELECT SampleName, AnalyteName, Concentration
FROM dbo.LabData) p
PIVOT
(
SUM (Concentration)
FOR AnalyteName IN ([1], , [11], [16])
) AS pvt
ORDER BY SampleName
GO
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
I executed the above-mentioned code and I got the following error messages:
Msg 156, Level 15, State 1, Line 1
Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'TABLE'.
Msg 207, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Invalid column name 'AnalyteName'.
I do not know what is wrong in the code statements of my SQLQuery.sql. Please help and advise me how to make it right and work for me.
Thanks in advance,
Scott Chang

Has anyone had success using it yet? We've been playing around with it and maybe we're doing it wrong, but so far we can't get it to produce anything useful. I mean, it pivots but we can't get it to do anything useful, like group an aggregate or anything.

I have a text box on a web application that allows the user to type what words they want to look. In the first version of the web application the user wrote the words he wanted and was wanted on the table by CONTAINS various words with the OR operator . What I wanted now was to allow the user to write several words, but with a particularity . The words that were inside '' was like a word.
I wish my transform variable, so that adding the OR operator, and the words within the quotes are not to put the OR.
ALTER PROCEDURE
@Product = ' 'ORANGE LEMON' BANANA APPLE 'PEACH PEAR' '
AS
-- I WANT TRANSFORM THE WORDS
@PRODUCT = 'ORANGE LEMON' OR BANANA OR APPLE 'PEACH PEAR'
What I meant was that even using the full-text functionality. I'm using CONTAINS . But before the CONTAISN was :
SELECT Description FROM Production.ProductDescription WHERE CONTAINS ( Description, PRODUCT )
Since PRODUCT and was researched by words such as ORANGE LEMON OR OR OR BANANA APPLE OR PEAR OR PEACH .
What is wanted now the words that come from the WEB application within '' stay as if it were the AND operator then was :
Product = '' ORANGE LEMON ' BANANA APPLE ' PEACH PEAR ''
PRODUCT = ' ( ORANGE AND LEMON ) OR BANANA OR APPLE OR ( PEACH AND PEAR) '

How to obtain the row number in a calculated column using DAX (PowerPivot 2013) ?
I do not have any column that would contain unique values (would be easy in that case !). I just want to obtain a different value in each row.

I have powerpivot which is pulling data from sharepoint list.
When I add new row to the list, on refresh the new row shows 1,0,.... instead of KPI icons(green yellow)
I have to open the excel, deselct and select one measure then it starts reflecting.
The KPI should get refreshed automatically, right?

Hi All,
I have never used PIVOT before but looks exactly what I want for this scenario:
I have rows of dates associated with ID of Hotels and Room avalability for each Hotel/Date..... I want to show the sum of the rooms per date as columns I am using something like this:SELECT dbHotelID ,[09/20/2007]as [Today],[09/21/2007]as [Today+1],[09/22/2007]as [Today+2] FROM vwRoomAvailable PIVOT (SUM(dbRoomNumber) FOR AvailableDate IN ([09/20/2007], [09/21/2007], [09/22/2007])) AS pAs you can see I know how may days I want in advance so know how many columsn so its not dynamic.. I just dont know what the dates are:I would like to do something like:
DECLARE @todayDate varchar(255),
DECLARE @todayPlusOne varchar(255),
DECLARE @todayPlusTwo varchar(255) SET @todayDate = CONVERT(CHAR, GETDATE(),101)SET @todayPlusOne = CONVERT(CHAR, DATEADD(d, 1, GETDATE(),101)SET @todayPlusTwo = CONVERT(CHAR, DATEADD(d, 2, GETDATE(),101) SELECT dbHotelID,@todayDate as Today,@todayPlusOne as [Today+1],@todayPlusTwo as [Today+2] FROM vwRoomAvailable PIVOT (SUM(dbHotelRoomAvailabilityNumber) FOR AvailableDate IN ([@todayDate], [@todayPlusOne], [@todayPlusTwo])) AS pBut I can’t seem to put the variable in the PIVOT value list or GETDATE() Anyone got any ideas or do I just try and do this another way and forgot PIVOT. I am using sql server 2005 express.
Thanks in advance.

I have a query which returns number of columns using pivot ( rows into columns -- dynamic sql pivot columns). Since it is dynamic pivot, how can I bind this returned values into report builder matrix reports.
Look at this example :
First time query returns
StudentId | Col1 | Col2 | Col3
Second time query returns
StudentId | Col1 | Col2 | Col3 | Col4 | Col5 | Col6 ...
How to bind this query into report builder 3.0 reports?

I have a table with date in the following format:
orderID | dateOrdered | customerIDÂ
101 | 01/01/2015 | 1
102 | 02/02/2015 | 2
103 | 05/06/2015 | 3Â
I need to create a measure that tells me how many customer's placed an order in the previous 91 days of any given date, not necessarily today.Â
So, if you imagine a PivotTable which has a series of dates down the left hand side and 'totalNoCustomersLast60Days' as the only column, I need each day to tell me how many customers ordered in the x number of days.
For example if we say 60 days my table would look like the following:
Each row in this table would be telling me that "x number of customers placed orders within the period 60 days prior to,and including, the date on the left".
I have tried numerous ways of doing this and despite thinking it should be incredible simple it eludes me.

I am trying to calculate how much revenue we may get, based on potential new business opportunities. The core fields we have are
Total Contract Value ($ or £)Duration of contract (months)Revenue start dateVarious information about the new business - ID, Title, Customer etc.
We can easily calculate the revenue per month with "Total Contract value divide by duration".
However what I would really like to do is be able to know how much revenue we will be getting each month.
To do this I was thinking we should probably create a new row for each month entry, with the mm-yyyy being the only difference for each row. But how to create the appropriate months and the correct amount of rows.

We have some requirement in PowerBI reports. Here we have a table and having Date, Events columns. Below is the sample data..we are creating a measure to calculate the average of the event count for month.We need a measure for calculating Average of Event count per month= sum(Events for a month)/numberofdays in the month.Example for January month : sum(343423)/31 (31 number of days in January)Â
When we write this measure using DAX query in Excel we are getting semantic error.Tried sample formula : Average:=SUM([Events])/EOMONTH([EventDate],1)
writing this DAX command for measure.After having this data ready, we are creating PowerBI reports on this data.

I have a single table that consist of 4 columns. Entity, ParamName, ParamsValue and ParamiValue. This table stores normalized Late Fee related parameters for apartments. The Entity field contains a code that identifies the apartment complex. The ParamName in a textual field that contains the name of the parameter that the other 2 fields define the value for; ParamsValue and ParamiValue. If the Late Fee parameter (as named in ParamName is something numerical then the value for that parameter can be found in ParamiValue else its in ParamsValue.
I don't know if 'Pivot' is the correct term to use for describing what I am trying to do because I've looked at the Pivot examples and I don't see how that will work for this. Using the Table and data as provided below, how would I construct a query so that I get 1 row per Entity in which the columns are the ParamsValue or ParamiValue for the ParamName listed in the column header (for the query)?
Below is the DDL to create the table and populate it.

[Entity] [varchar](16) NULL,

I'm stumped how to achieve my goal using stored procedures. I have a front end application that calls stored procedures to insert data. For example, customer pays a bill. To complete the payment process a command in the app is run which calls a stored procedure to insert a tender record and a second stored procedure to insert a transaction record. A customer can pay one to many bills at one time so the number of times the insert stored procedures are called is variable. I want to be able to use the begin transaction, commit and rollback statements so if there's a problem inserting a record all the inserts are rolled back. Previously the app used the visual basic begin transaction, commit, rollback, statements however I want to now use SQL stored procedures for inserts and updates. I've been struggling with this for some time and hope someone can help me.

I have created a kind of search function in my Excel sheet where the user can select multiple items from different listboxes.
To save the items I use an array. So in one case only 1 items off the array is filled, but another time maybe 3 items are filled in the array.
I use the array to search in a SQL database (this is string rva(i) in the code). But when the array is empty it results in an error.
This is what I have so far. (the rule at the bottom won't work also )
rc.Open "SELECT [Datum],[RvA_Nr], [RvA_Letter], [Afdeling], [EVAL], [Matrix], [Component], [AS3000], [AP04], [Rec] FROM dbo.QHSE_2ndline_history " _
& "WHERE [Afdeling] = '" & afd & "' AND [Datum] >= '" & datum1 & "' AND [Datum] <= '" & datum2 & "' AND " _
& "CASE WHEN '" & rva(1) & "' <> '' then [RvA_Nr] = '" & rva(1) & "' END AND" _
& "([Matrix] LIKE '%" & matrix(1) & "%' OR [Matrix] LIKE '%" & matrix(2) & "%' OR [Matrix] LIKE '%" & matrix(3) & "%' OR

I have a SP search_post (e.g)
@id int,
@author varchar(40),
@keyword varchar(40),
select * from
posts
where
id = @id and author =@author and message like @keyword
in my case a user can choose to search by one or more of this elements.
what will be the best approach to write a statement that will account for the posibility of the user leaving some "parameters" empty, while also allowing for the posibility that all parameters could be filled
one approach I have thought out is this
if (@id IS NOT null)
select * from
posts where id = @id
if (@author IS NOT null)
select * from
posts where author= @author
if (@keyword IS NOT null)
select * from
posts where keyword = (@keyword
but this does not really take care of the posibility that all of them or some of them will be null while others will not
any suggestions ?

Background: Customer sale records are kept in table (userHistory) that records: bookID, userID, and salesDate.
Objective: To find all the customers that have purchased the same books as any given customer, say customer1. For example, customer1 bought books bookA, bookB, and bookC; the goal is to find all of the other customers who also bought these books.
My First Attempt:
SELECT DISTINCT UH1.userID
FROM userHistory as UH1, userHistory as UH2, userHistory as UH3
WHERE UH1.userid = UH2.userID
ANDUH2.userid = UH3.userID
ANDUH1.bookID = ‘bookA’
ANDUH2.bookID = ‘bookB’
ANDUH3.bookID = ‘bookC’
AND UH1.userID <> ‘customer1’
The problem here is that it cannot handle any more/less than 3 books. The above should work well for 3 books, but what if there are 2 books or 12 books? Does anybody have any suggested queries to handle a variable amount of books (eg joins)?
Thank you kindly.

We are trying to use the Import/export wizard to load a text file to a SQL Server 2005 database. The input file has a variable number of columns per row. For example, the first row has 3 columns, the second has 7, the third has 3, etc. The number of columns varies from 2 to 9 in the input file. The columns are separated by an uptick (`) and the rows are terminated by {CR}{LF}. We are using code page 1252. On processing, the wizard reads the first row (with 3 columns) ok, but then assumes all the other rows have 3 columns and parses the rows accordingly, ignoring the field and row terminators.
The process worked fine with SQL Server 2000. Is there some setting that we are missing, or some configuration on the database that we should be checking?
Thank You

Hi, I need to update a number of columns in a number of tables - I just don't know how many. In this case, I am updating all varchar fields and nvarchar fields to be converted to lower case. The problem is that the table structure is amended over time as columns are added programmatically, so I do not know which tables have which columns and if so which of them are varchars.
I can get a table of which fields I need to update using:
SELECT TABLE_NAME, COLUMN_NAME, ORDINAL_POSITION, DATA_TYPE
INTO tblTempLCase
FROM information_schema.columns
WHERE DATA_TYPE LIKE '%varchar'
and I can do the update with UPDATE tblxxx SET column = LOWER(column)
But what I don't know is how to step through my temporary table and do the updates. I can do it in ASP.NET, but that involves pushing commands and data between ASP and SQL, and will be too slow. How do I do it in SQL?
Thanks,
Dave Stephens

Hi,
I need to update a number of columns within a number of tables - I just don't know how many. In this case, I want to convert all varchar and nvarchar columns to lower-case versions of themselves. The problem is that the table structure is changed programatically, and so at any point in time I cannot be certain what fields are in which table, and what data type they are.
I know that I can get a lit of columns using:
SELECT TABLE_NAME, COLUMN_NAME, ORDINAL_POSITION, DATA_TYPE
INTO tblTempLCase
FROM information_schema.columns
WHERE DATA_TYPE LIKE '%varchar'
and do the update using:
UPDATE tblABCDE SET column = LOWER(column).
In ASP.NET I can pull in this temporary table using a SQL Data Adapter, and then step through the records to formulate the UPDATE statements and execute them all. However, I hope that this is possible in SQL too, so that I do not have to keep firing data/commands between ASP and SQL, as it should be quicker, and is also neater.
If so, how do you do it?
Thanks,
Dave Stephens

I have the following situation; I have one table (tblA) in which a new record just has been inserted. Once this insert is completed successfully, I want to insert a variable number of records into another table (tblB). The primary key of tblA is being used inside tblB as one of the columns in each insert. I’ve already been able to transfer the primary key, generated by the insert for tblA, pretty easy. But to make things a bit more complicated, the variable number of records to add is being decided by the outcome of a query based on an entry inside tblA (after the insert) and this is then being run on another table (tblC). The SELECT statement from tblC combined with the Select parameter from tblA will then decide how many records I have to insert. Sorry for the (perhaps) confusing way of writing this down, but I’ve been struggling with this for a couple of days now and I really need to get it working. Anybody who can help?Thanks in advance,Sunny Guam

I have a web page which passes back parameters to a stored procedure.
From the web page the user selects different clauses for the 'where' criteria.
Based upon the number of clause items in the parameters sent back, a select statement is built and executed.
In the stored procedure I have many if statements to chose the correct sql statement.
As the no of clauses in the where statement can vary, it can become messy script.
Has anyone dealt with this scenario. What is the best strategy ?
A simple illustation of this is as follows
A statement with two clauses :-
Select * from Sales where
user = 'John' and country = 'England'
A statement with three clauses :-
Select * from Sales where
user = 'John' and country = 'England' and County = 'Staffordshire'
The stored procedure would except three parameters and would build a string based on the number of actual where clases sent back

Using Microsoft query analyser SQL version 8, I believe.
Got a SQL table with a column that has NULLS in it. What I want to do is fill down the value in the row above based on a condition in another column (recordtype). Came up with the following code but unfortunately it only fills in the record directly below. Not those further down (variable number of NULL rows). Any idea how to get these to fill down? Suspect the answer may lie with block cursors but 1) I'm told they're slow (I have 2 and 1/2 million records in this table) and 2) I've never used cursors before!
________________
Update dbo.NSTS
Set dbo.NSTS.Number = NSTS_1.Number
FROM dbo.NSTS LEFT OUTER JOIN
dbo.NSTS AS NSTS_1 ON dbo.NSTS.[Id] = ((NSTS_1.[Id])+1)
WHERE dbo.NSTS.RecordType like '101' AND (dbo.NSTS.Number is null or dbo.NSTS.Number like '')
________________
Example of data table here:
ID RecordType Number

19 100 4330053764
20 101 NULL

I did get a cursor loop working but can only retrieve 1 row and (try as I might with the so called help examples) can't seem to pull down 2 rows at a time. Just can't seem to get it to accept this command at all: SQLSetStmtAttr(hStmt, SQL_ATTR_ROW_ARRAY_SIZE, (SQLPOINTER) 2 ,0).
Help would be very much appreciated!

I have a booking system which stores an event along with a start date and a finish date. I want to create a table which has a row for each day the event is on. I can find the number of days easily enough using a datediff function but I don't know how to translate this into that number of rows. My current thinking is to cross join the original table out to another temporary table with a large number of rows and use SQL2005 to only select the top 'x' rows, then use the rownumber of this temp table to add the required number of days to the StartDate to get each eventdate. Currently I use a loop to build the required table but there must be a way to get it all done in a single statement :)
Thanks
ORIGINAL DATA
EventID StartDate EndDate
1 1/1/08 1/1/08
2 20/1/08 22/1/08
REQUIRED DATA
EventID EventDate
1 1/1/08
2 20/1/08
2 21/1/08
2 22/1/08

I have a requirment to take data from a large set of tables where thetotal number of these tables may change on a regular baisis andoutput into another table. All the tables willl have the samecolumns. Frequency is being debated but it maybe as much as once perhour.Example1) I need to choose all the following tablesselect * from dbo.sysobjects where name like '_CPY%.2) then I need the followingfor each of the tables found above, I need the outfrom from each ofthose tables to be inputted into another table. basically, I wouldwant the following output from each of the tables found in step 1select machineid,name from _cpy_offermanager_6783) In the end I would have something like dbo.ALLCPY with recordscombined from all other _CPY tablesRon Sorrell
