SQL 2012 :: Display Results As Vertical String - Use PIVOT?
Jun 9, 2014
I have a single column returned from a select statement. How can I have this returned as a vertical string? I looked into using PIVOT but my scenario seems too simple to use Pivot. I'm not requiring any aggregate functions or anything.
I have a query that calculates sales by sales person, but it displays horizontally across my query window. Is their a way in SQL Server to have the data display vertically down the window instead?
This is my current query
Code:
Select count(case when salesman Like 'Geo%' then id else null end) As [George] ,count(case when salesman Like 'Li%' then id else null end) As [Lisa] ,count(case when salesman Like 'Jor%' then id else null end) As [Jorge] ,count(case when salesman Like 'Ri%' then id else null end) As [Richard] ,count(case when salesman Like 'Geo%' then id else null end)+count(case when salesman Like 'Li%' then id else null end) As [Team 1 Sales] ,count(case when salesman Like 'Jor%' then id else null end)+count(case when salesman Like 'Ri%' then id else null end) As [Team 2 Sales] from sales.southeastregion
Which of course shows the results as such
George --- Lisa --- Jorge --- Richard --- Team 1 --- Team 2 100 50 10 90 150 100
And I want the data to be displayed like
George - 100 Lista - 50 Jorge - 10 Richard - 90 Team 1 - 150 Team 2 - 100
I liked the default appearance of SSMS in 2005 and 2008. 2012 is lousy by default.
My quesion is whether it can be made to approximate the way it behaved in 2008.
What I liked: Registered Servers and Object Explorer resided on nested vertical tabs on the left-hand side of the screen. Queries stacked up on the right-hand side of the screen.
I managed to get the Registered Servers and Object explorer to display with nested vertical tabs (tabs at the top, rather than the bottom - that's ok). But if there aren't any other vertical tabbed displays, then the tab on top fills the screen. There's no point to that. Both Registered Servers and Object explorer are narrow trees. The rest of the screen is white nothingness.
If a query is opened, it then fills the screen - empty. If I want that in a vertical tab I have to manually make it one (right click, choose New Vertical Tab Group).
s there a way to make the doggone thing behave?
The way I got the Registered Servers and Object explorer to behave this way was to right click on a tab and play with the vertical tabbing options.
Power pivot graph. I do have different transaction names, dates, count, exec time with me, I need to display each transaction execution day, execution time in graph format. Suppose execution time is on Y axis and Exec time is on X-axis then to display the which transaction takes more time for execution.I have Query just I need to display in graphical format
What I would like to end up with is a pivot table of each account, the trigger code and service codes attached to that account, and the rate for each.
I have been able to dynamically get the pivot, but I'm not joining correctly, as its returning every dynamic column, not just the columns of a trigger code. The code below will return the account and trigger code, but also every service code, regardless of which trigger code they belong to, and just show null values.
What I would like to get is just the service codes and the appropriate trigger code for each account.
SELECT @cols = STUFF((SELECT DISTINCT ',' + ServiceCode FROM TriggerTable FOR XML PATH(''), TYPE ).value('(./text())[1]', 'VARCHAR(MAX)') ,1,2,'')
I am trying to calculate the time difference between the value in the row and the min value in the table. So say the min value in the table is 2014-05-29 14:44:17.713. (This is the start time of the test.) Now say the test ends at 2014-05-29 17:10:17.010. There are many rows recorded during that start and end time, for each row created a time stamp is created. I am trying to calculate the elapsed time and have it as a row in the results.
min(timestamp) - timestamp(value in row) = elapsed time for that test where Channel = '273'
Here is the table DDL
CREATE DATABASE SpecTest; USE SpecTest GO
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Spec1]( [Spec1ID] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL, [Channel] [int] NOT NULL,
Following is my table and its content:YearTargetedBudgetFirstQuarterSecondQuarterThirdQuarter-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------20002500012000110001000200135000220002100020002002450003200031000300020035500042000410004000I want a query which returns the result in this format:Yr_Col1Yr_Col2Yr_Col3Yr_Col4----------------------------------------------------20002001200220032500035000450005500012000220003200042000110002100031000410001000200030004000There could be many work around, but what would be fasted single queryfor this?
Is it possible to align a text box to display text with rotation? For example can I display it rotated 90 degrees left so that it reads from the bottom towards the top of the page? All I can find is left/right alignment and top/middle/bottom alignment. I want to rotate the text.
Hello I was very happy to have found the thread http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=491642&SiteID=1 that explained how to get the text to display Bottom-to-Top/Left-to-Right.
The solution was to setup a function that creates a bitmap the text to be displayed. This works well and correctly displays the text image in HTML and PDF. (Excel, XML and CVS won't export backgroud images).
To extend the solution to wrap text it requires a few additional lines...
Code Snippet Function LoadImage3(ByVal stText As String)
stText = stText.PadRight(10) stText = stText.PadLeft(10) Dim iMaxLength as Integer = 180 Dim iMaxWidth as Integer = 180 Dim f As Drawing.Font = New Drawing.Font("Arial",7, System.Drawing.FontStyle.Regular, System.Drawing.GraphicsUnit.Point) Dim bmpImage As New Drawing.Bitmap(1, 1) Dim MyGraphics As Drawing.Graphics = Drawing.Graphics.FromImage(bmpImage)
Dim imageSize As Drawing.SizeF = MyGraphics.MeasureString(stText, f) Dim i As New System.Drawing.Bitmap(iMaxWidth, iMaxLength) Dim g As Drawing.Graphics = Drawing.Graphics.FromImage(i) Dim rectF1 As New Drawing.Rectangle(-(iMaxWidth/2),-(iMaxLength/2),iMaxWidth,iMaxLength ) g.FillRectangle(Drawing.Brushes.White, 0, 0, i.Width, i.Height) g.TranslateTransform((iMaxWidth/2), (iMaxLength/2) ) g.RotateTransform(270.0F) 'flip the image 270 degrees
g.DrawString(stText, f,Drawing.Brushes.Black, rectF1) g.DrawRectangle(New Drawing.Pen(Drawing.Color.White, 1), rectF1) g.Flush() Dim stream As IO.MemoryStream = New IO.MemoryStream Dim bitmapBytes As Byte() i.Save(stream, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Jpeg) 'Create bitmap bitmapBytes = stream.ToArray stream.Close() i.Dispose() Return bitmapBytes
End Function

I have been given a request at work that requires us to run the SQL scripts that are held in a report configuration table and output the results as .csv or.xls files in a desired folder with a file name that is also specified within the report config table.
An example of the table is as per script below with column A being the desired file name to be created and Column B contains the script that will be executed.
Ideally I require a script that i can drop into a Stored Proc that will run down each row in the table and export and create each rows results as a separate file in a desired folder.

Hello. I currently have a website that has a table on one webpage. When a record is clicked, the primary key of that record is transfered in the query string to another page and fed into an sql statement. In this case its selecting a project on the first page, and displaying all the scripts for that project on another page. I also have an additional dropdownlist on the second page that i use to filter the scripts by an attribute called 'testdomain'. At present this works to an extent. When i click a project, i am navigated to the scripts page which is empty except for the dropdownlist. i then select a 'testdomain' from the dropdownlist and the page populates with scripts (formview) for the particular test domain. what i would like is for all the scripts to be displayed using the formview in the first instance when the user arrives at the second page. from there, they can then filter the scripts using the dropdownlist. My current SQL statement is as follows. SelectCommand="SELECT * FROM [TestScript] WHERE (([ProjectID] = @ProjectID) AND ([TestDomain] = @TestDomain))" So what is happening is when testdomain = a null value, it does not select any scripts. Is there a way i can achieve the behaivour of the page as i outlined above? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, James.
Fields are Dt_id int Daily_type varchar Dt_date datetime Emp_id int Project_type varchar Project_id int Time_st int Time_ot int Time_dt int Records in Daily_Time_Entry are as follows
Where dt_date is in dd/mm/yyyy format Also in project_type field -- AB Corporate is taken for Ab_Corporate_Project , AB Plant for Ab_Plant_Project, Other Project for Other_Project This means if Project_type = AB Corporate then search into Ab_Corporate_Project Else if Project_type = AB Plant then search into Ab_Plant_Project Else if Project_type = Other Project then search into Other_Project
Now I want to display records as per datewise suppose I want to view records by date 13/03/2008
I have a power pivot with 2 multi valued report filters student_branch & blood_group. These report filters are used to fetch the data set that contain below result set
student_branch blood_group count
Everything works fine. But, what i am looking for , is there any way to show the what are all the report filters that are selected currently by , separated in a separate cell ? below is the image for output reference.
I have a query which returns the movements to and from our warehouse stock, as well as the current stock for each depot and how much is on order. What I need is a kind of pivot so that each item is shown just once, and then summarises the movements in 4 extra columns: Last 30 days, 30-60 days, 60-90 days and 90-120 days. How can I achieve this with my query below? A sample of some of the results is also shown.
Power Pivot .... I have a model established that has a date table, Order table, Sales rep table, and a financials table that all feed each other nicely.
The issue is that some of the individual sales reps are also on sales "Teams" of 2-4 people, and I am not sure how to account for that when I am building pivot tables without relying on slicers and CTRL clicking.
I also don't want to resort to programmatically duplicating rows via SQL.
Lets say you have to retrieve some SQL.Then you have to go through those records and delete some items, change some values, and even add columns and rows...based on logic that depends on the data you got.Thanks.
Hi, I made a table to display information from northwind database. It displays fine on IE5.0 but will only show the first line in netscape. Do you know what it may be???
I don't know if anyone has encountered this before but here goes:
I've a select clause below: result = "Select * from person where LocalName LIKE N'" + queryLocalName + "'"
queryLocalName is an input field that allows the user to search for non-English characters in the database.
What I'm wondering is what kind of effect is the N in the where clause is having?
I can't seem to get it to work when doing it via the web. I've tested in the database itself, got it to work using the SQL Analyser but when testing on the web, it can't find because ? are appearing in the result.
I have a column in the following select startement called displayvalue. Displayvalue is a varchar column. Primary everything entered into this column is numeric, but there are times when NR is entered. In the select query if it sees NR, I would like to have NR changed in the resultset to NULL or blank. NR doesn't come up all of the time, but I have not idea how to do this in the select statment.
Here goes..
SELECT SAMPLE.SAMPLEID, SAMPLE.U_WORKORDERNUMBER, SAMPLE.U_SAMPLEDATETIME, SDI.PARAMID, SDI.DISPLAYVALUE FROM SAMPLE SAMPLE, SDIDATAITEM SDI WHERE ( (SAMPLE.SAMPLEID = SDI.KEYID1) AND (SAMPLE.U_WORKORDERNUMBER = '0060') AND (SAMPLE.U_SAMPLEDATETIME > '31-DEC-2003') AND (SDI.PARAMID = 'BOD') ) ORDER BY SAMPLE.SAMPLEID ASC, SDI.PARAMID ASC
is it possible to replicate this in SSRS I wonder??I have included the code of the fields used and a snapshot of some data, and also how the Pivot looks in Excel.
I am working on a project that displays images. Before you can get to the image, you have to select a category that the image may be in. After that, you select the sub categories. I am trying to display a count of the number of records that the subcategories contain. Here is an example:
The user can make a selection from the categories listed below:
Geographic Area Time Period Topic Record Type
If the user selects time period, he/she is taken to a list of subcategories. I would like to display the subcategories with a count of the number of records that will be displayed if it is selected. Listed below is an example of what this would look like:
Colonial (10) -----the number in parenthesis is the number of records that will be displayed if selected------ Gilded Age (12) Revolutionary (9) Progressive Era (22)
Is there a way to display the number in parenthesis using ASP.Net and SQL Server 2000? Any clues will be greatly appreciated.
I have small requirement in my project. I need to display the results of the WHERE clause based on percentage/ranking of exact match.
I mean the result set should be displayed based on percentage match.
For example i have the below table.
create table test ( id int identity(1,1) primary key, ename varchar(10) )
insert into test(ename) select 'REG' insert into test(ename) select 'xyz' insert into test(ename) select 'abc' insert into test(ename) select 'Reg' insert into test(ename) select 'Regsxysn' insert into test(ename) select 'psReg'
I need the output something similar as below
REG Reg Regsxysn psReg
I have tried out with full text indexing but i could'nt get the required output.

I pulled some examples of using a subquery pivot to build a temp table, but cannot get it to work.
IF OBJECT_ID('tempdb..#Pyr') IS NOT NULL DROP TABLE #Pyr GO SELECT vst_int_id, [4981] AS Primary_Ins, [4978] AS Secondary_Ins,
[code]....
The problems I am having are with the integer data being used to create temp table fields. The bracketed numbers on line 7-10 give me an invalid column name error each. In the 'FOR', I get another error "Incorrect syntax near 'FOR'. Expecting '(', or '.'.". The first integer in the "IN" gives me an "Incorrect syntax near '[4981]'. Expecting '(' or SELECT". I will post the definitions from another effort below.
I have an issue with some data that has a leading ASCII char 160 (the "a" with the accent mark) but it shows in query results as a space.
... where customername like char(160) + '%'
returns 2 rows but shows the customer name with a leading space. How would I change the collation or do otherwise to get this character to display correctly in the results?
I am trying to pivot my data results so that instead of showing multiple rows for each product a client has it will show one line for each client and concatenate all of their products together.
For example, if I run the following query:
SELECT [Year], [Client_Name], [Product_Name] FROM My.dbo.Table GROUP BY [Year], [Client_Name], [Product_Name]
