T-SQL (SS2K8) :: How To Add Inline TVF With Dynamic Columns From CRL Dynamic Pivot
Mar 9, 2015
I have tried building an Inline TVF, as I assume this is how it would be used on the DB; however, I am receiving the following error on my code, I must be missing a step somewhere, as I've never done this before. I'm lost on how to implement this clr function on my db?
Error:

I have a table with 40k terms and I need to map these to a set of objects where each object is represented as a column(tinyint). The object/column name is represented as a guid and columns are added/removed dynamically to support new objects for a set of terms.
I can get the rows needed:
guid1guid2guid3guid4guid5
================================
01100
01101
I think I need to then convert this set of rows to a table which I can join to the object runtime table to start these objects if the column has a count/sum greater than 0. This is the table I think I need in order to join on guids to the runtime table:
NAME Count
===========
guid10
guid22
guid32
guid40
guid51
I don't know how to construct this table for the former table. I think it may be a pivot table, but I don't know. I have the column names:
SELECT NAME
FROM SYSCOLUMNS
WHERE ID = OBJECT_ID(#Temp)
ORDER BY COLID
NAME is a sysname, which doesn't seem to cast into a guid, also a problem when joining the runtime table with this #Temp table.
I also don't want to use a cursor to construct a table.
Thanks for any help,
James

I have the following Pivot Table:
Code Snippet
Declare @tblEquipment Table
(
numEquipmentID INT,
txtManufacturer nvarchar(30),
txtModel nvarchar(30)
)
Declare @tblEquipmentFields Table
(
numFieldNameID INT,
txtFieldName nvarchar(25)
)
Declare @tblEquipmentDetails Table
(
numEquipmentDetailsID INT,
numEquipmentID INT,
numFieldNameID INT,
txtFieldValue nvarchar(30)
)
Insert INTO @tblEquipment Values(23, 'Dell', 'Optiplex 270')
Insert INTO @tblEquipment Values(26, 'Dell', '1705FP')
Insert INTO @tblEquipment Values(42, 'Dell', 'Optiples 745')
Insert INTO @tblEquipmentFields Values(1, 'Monitor Size')
Insert INTO @tblEquipmentFields Values(2, 'Processor Type')
Insert INTO @tblEquipmentDetails Values(1077, 23, 2, 'P4M')
Insert INTO @tblEquipmentDetails Values(1146, 26, 1, '17')
Insert INTO @tblEquipmentDetails Values(1026, 42, 2, 'P4 Dual Core')
Select numEquipmentID As EquipmentID, [Monitor Size], [Processor Type]
From
(Select a.numEquipmentID, txtManufacturer, txtModel, txtFieldName, txtFieldValue
From @tblEquipment a JOIN
@tblEquipmentDetails b ON
a.numEquipmentID = b.numEquipmentID
JOIN @tblEquipmentFields c ON
b.numFieldNameID = c.numFieldNameID
) As SourceTable
Pivot
(
Max(txtFieldValue)
For txtFieldName IN ([Monitor Size], [Processor Type])
) As PivotTable
What I'm wondering is if it's possible to have the columns change dynamically. For example:
If lets say I only want the record with numEquipmentID of 23 to show I only want its corresponding information to show
EquipmentID ProcessorType
23 P4M
Now lets say that I want to bring back an additional record, like 23 and 26 I would like the columns to change to the following
EquipmentID ProcessorType Monitor Size
23 P4M NULL
26 NULL 17
So in essence a column will be added based on the equipmentID. Thanks in advanced.

I am trying to do a PIVOT on a query result, but the column names created by the PIVOT function are dynamic.
For example (modified from the SQL Server 2005 Books Online documentation on the PIVOT operator) :
SELECT
Division,
[2] AS CurrentPeriod,
[1] AS PreviousPeriod
FROM
(
SELECT
Period,
Division,
Sales_Amount
FROM
Sales.SalesOrderHeader
WHERE
(
Period = @period
OR Period = @period - 1
)
) p
PIVOT
(
SUM (Sales_Amount)
FOR Period IN ( [2], [1] )
) AS pvt
Let's assume that any value 2 is selected for the @period parameter, and returns the sales by division for periods 2 and 1 (2 minus 1).
Division CurrentPeriod PreviousPeriodA 400 3000 B 400 100 C 470 300 D 800 2500 E 1000 1900
What if the value @period were to be changed, to say period 4 and it should returns the sales for periods 4 and 3 for example, is there a way I can change to code above to still perform the PIVOT while dynamically accepting the period values 4 and 3, applying it to the columns names in the first SELECT statement and the FOR ... IN clause in the PIVOT statement ?
Need a way to represent the following [2] and [1] column names dynamically depending on the value in the @period parameter.
[2] AS CurrentPeriod,
[1] AS PreviousPeriod
FOR Period IN ( [2], [1] )
I have tried to use the @period but it doesn't work.
Thanks in advance.

I found this Microsoft article for creating crosstab-like queries in SSMS.Is it possible, however, to create this same query if I do not know what the values for the columns will be? Using their example for my problem, I will not know what the values in the "IN" criteria will be because my query would be for a "rolling" 12 months (thus causing that IN criteria to change every month).I've tried declaring variables to pull in the values, but since this will eventually go into a view, I don't think that I can use declared variables.

The first select is running fine but due to extra values added to the table the list of manual difined columns must be added manualy each time new values occur.
Is it possible to make the PIVOT's IN clause dynamicly as stated in the second script (it is based on the same table #source) when running it prompts the next error;
Msg 156, Level 15, State 1, Line 315
Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'select'.
Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Line 315
Incorrect syntax near ')'.
adding or moving ')' or '(' are not working.......
select *
into #temp
from #source
pivot ( avg(value) for drive in ([C], [D], [E], [F], [G], [H], [T], [U], [V] )) as value
select * from #temp order by .........
versus
select *
into #temp
from #source
pivot ( avg(value) for drive in (select distinct(column) from #source)) as value
select * from #temp order by .....

Basically, I'm given a daily schedule on two separate rows for shift 1 and shift 2 for the same employee, I'm trying to align both shifts in one row as shown below in 'My desired results' section.
Sample Data:
;WITH SampleData ([ColumnA], [ColumnB], [ColumnC], [ColumnD]) AS
(
SELECT 5060,'04/30/2015','05:30', '08:30'
UNION ALL SELECT 5060, '04/30/2015','13:30', '15:30'
UNION ALL SELECT 5060,'05/02/2015','05:30', '08:30'
UNION ALL SELECT 5060, '05/02/2015','13:30', '15:30'
[Code] ....
The results from the above are as follows:
columnAcolumnB SampleTitle1 SampleTitle2 SampleTitle3 SampleTitle4
506004/30/201505:30 NULL NULL NULL
506004/30/201513:30 15:30 NULL NULL
506005/02/201505:30 NULL NULL NULL
506005/02/201513:30 15:30 NULL NULL
My desired results with desired headers are as follows:
PERSONSTARTDATE STARTIME1 ENDTIME1 STARTTIME2 ENDTIME2
506004/30/2015 05:30 08:30 13:30 15:30

I am trying to pivot table DYNAMICALLY but couldn't get the desired result .
Here is the code to create a table
create table Report
(
deck char(3),
Jib_in float,
rev int,
rev_insight int,
jib_out float,
[Code] .....
Code written so far. this pivots the column deck and jib_in into rows but thats it only TWO ROWS i.e the one i put inside aggregate function under PIVOT function and one i put inside QUOTENAME()
DECLARE @columns NVARCHAR(MAX), @sql NVARCHAR(MAX);
SET @columns = N'';
SELECT @columns += N', p.' + QUOTENAME(deck)
FROM (SELECT p.deck FROM dbo.report AS p
GROUP BY p.deck) AS x;
[Code] ....
I need all the columns to be pivoted and show on the pivoted table. I am very new at dynamic pivot. I tried so many ways to add other columns but no avail!!

I have a lookup table, as below. Each triggercode can have several service codes.
TriggerCodeServiceCode

BBRONZH RDYNIP1
BBRONZP BBRZFET
BCSTICP ULDBND2
BCSTMCP RBNDLOC
I then have a table of accounts, and each account can have one to many service codes. This table also has the rate for each code.
AccountServiceCodeRate
11518801DSRDISC -2
11571901BBRZFET 5

17412902CDHCTC1 0
14706401ULDBND2 2
14706401RBNDLOC 3
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 have this query:
SELECT TOP (100) PERCENT dbo.Filteredfs_franchise.fs_franchiseid AS FranchiseId, dbo.Filteredfs_franchise.fs_brandidname AS Brand,
dbo.Filteredfs_franchise.fs_franchisetypename AS [Franchise Type], dbo.Filteredfs_franchise.fs_franchisenumber AS [Franchise Number],
dbo.Filteredfs_franchise.fs_transactiontypename AS [Transaction Type], dbo.Filteredfs_franchise.fs_franchisestatusname AS [Status Code],
[Code] ....
I need to pivot this so I can get one row per franchiseID and multiple columns for [Franchisee Name Entity] and [Franchise Name Individual]. Each [Franchisee Name Entity] and [Franchise Name Individual] has associated percentage of ownership.
This has to be dynamic, because each FranchiseID can have anywhere from 1 to 12 respective owners and those can be any combination of of Entity and Individual. Please, see the attached example for Franchise Number 129 (that one would have 6 additional columns because there are 3 Individual owners with 1 respective Percentage of ownership).
The question is how do I PIVOT and preserve the percentage of ownership?

I need to retrieve columns names(instead of select * from) as single row from table in dynamic way.
i m using following query.
its working fine while using from selected database. but its not working when i m running from different database.
DECLARE @columnnames varchar(max)
select @columnnames = COALESCE(@columnnames,'')+column_name+',' from INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS(nolock)
where table_name='table_20141224'
select @columnnames
I need to pass database name dynamically like using by variable.
Is this possible to use variable after from clause. or any other methods?
eg:
DECLARE @columnnames varchar(max)
DECLARE @variable='db_month11_2014'
select @columnnames = COALESCE(@columnnames,'')+column_name+',' from @VARIABLE.INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS(nolock)
where table_name='table_20141224'

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.

I have created a dynamic SQL program that returns a range of columns (1 -12) based on the date range the user may select. Each dynamic column is month based, however, the date range may overlap from one year to another. Thus, the beginning month for one selection may be October 2005, while another may have the beginning month of January 2007.
Basically, the dynamic SQL is a derived Pivot table. The problem that I need to resolve is how do I now use this dynamic result set in a Report. Please keep in mind that the name of the columns change based on the date range select.
I have come to understand that a dynamic anything is a moving target!
Please advise.

Hi
Is there a way for using the PIVOT synatx with a dyamic/unknown list of columns? In most PIVOT examples ther columns are "hard" coded but if for example, you are pivoting a sales order table where u don't know which Fiscal Years the orders cover, how could you do this?

(The nature of the data is that the "Measure" will always increase cumulatively per month and I want the maximum "measure" to equal a rank of 1).What I need is a second RANK column which updates dynamically so that if I select just some of the Months, they will rank from 1 +.

I am trying to pivot some data as you would normally however I am trying to also group the pivot into three sub column groups too.
Basically the scenario is that I have three sub groups Budget, Person, RenewalDate for each Service (Service being the pivot point). So for each unique service I want to display the budget person and renewal date for each service by company.
I have created two tables to illustrate the base data and the required output.
How to do this dynamically because the number of Services is unknown, i.e. it could be 4 Services or 20, each with three sub columns, budget, person and renewal date.
Please find code below. It should be quite self explanatory as to what I am trying to do.
IMPORTANT:
1. I really need it to be dynamic
2. the Services are not standardised names, they are numbered for illustration purposes only, they vary in naming convention.
create table #BaseData
(
Company nvarchar(100),
Person nvarchar(50),
[Service] nvarchar(100),
Budget int,
RenewalDate datetime
)

I know that this is an Excel question, but I guess it is much more likely that an SQL person using dynamic pivot tables had stepped on this, rather than any advanced Excel user.
I am exporting a dynamic pivot table to Excel through a Stored Procedure. If the Stored Procedure that executes the dynamic pivot table returns 7 columns in one run, and 4 columns in the following update, then I have 3 orphaned columns that are still displayed in the spreadsheet. There isn't any content related to them, but the empty columns with their headers are bothering enough.
I've been trying to play with the data connection properties, but nothing deletes unused columns from former data executions.

I am trying to work on a database with 3 tables. To make it easier I have created a couple of temp tables to work out the syntax.
CREATE TABLE #owner
(
[NameId] tinyint IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
[Name] varchar(50) NOT NULL
)
INSERT INTO #owner VALUES ('ME');
INSERT INTO #owner VALUES ('Other');
CREATE TABLE #propertyType
(
[TypeId] tinyint IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
[Name] varchar(50) NOT NULL
)
INSERT INTO #propertyType VALUES ('Home');
INSERT INTO #propertyType VALUES ('Car');
CREATE TABLE #property
(
[NameId] tinyint NOT NULL,
[TypeId] tinyint NOT NULL,
[Value] varchar(50) NOT NULL
)
INSERT INTO #property VALUES (1,1, 'Blue');
INSERT INTO #property VALUES (1,2, 'Black');
INSERT INTO #property VALUES (2,1, 'Red');
INSERT INTO #property VALUES (2,2, 'Black');
DROP TABLE #owner;
DROP TABLE #propertyType;
DROP TABLE #property
| NameId | Name |
| 1 | ME|
| 2 | other |
| TypeId | Name |
| 1 | Home |
| 2 | Car |
| NameId | TypeId | Value |
| 1 | 1 | Blue |
| 1 | 2 | Black |
| 2 | 1 | Red |
| 2 | 2 | Black |
Where property value is some arbitrary detail. The real propertyType has 50 or 60 rows and not every property has all of the values. I am trying to create a pivot table that would look like so that I can present the data in an easier to understand format:
[Owner | Home | Car ]

The propertyTypes are added often, and I don't really have the ability to change them. There is a unique constrant on property on nameid and typeid so there will never be two of the same property with the same owner. Any help would be very helpful.

So, after my last post where the issue came down to my model, I have redone my data sources as a v.2 model and split out into traditional dim/fact tables. I have 2 fact tables a few dims that are shared between the two facts and some dims that are only on one fact.
In my old model I was doing most of this de-normalisation in my sql queries to produce the fact tables (and the two fact tables were related together).
In v1Â I used to get a much better context-aware set of slicers as they were directly connected to the fact that the visualisations on the page were relating to. As I selected a slicer, any other slicers items that were no longer possible would disappear.
This is no longer happening with this star-schema method. The old way was better from a user perspective. I had to remove some "both" cross filter directions from the relationship model due on the dims that were shared between both facts, so they are only now Single. I wonder if that has any bearing on this but even if it does, I don't see a solution from this angle.
I guess the only idea I have would be to create calculated measures/columns (probably columns) to materialise the interesting dim values into the fact table but this seems a bit of a time consuming process and as I don't necessarily know in advance which slicers the users may want to use, so it feels like I almost need to add all possible dimension attributes in each fact table... ?
Here is my relationship diagram. In my testing the slicer updates work ok if they are on a 2 way relationship but not on a Single way relationship.
In my case my 2 fact tables are really related (SchemeParticipantResult is a parent of ParticipantMeasureResult) but this then breaks the traditional Star schema that I was advised to follow before.

Hi,
I have a client with the following table structure:
ItemNumber, Name, Description
containing the following Data (example):
ItemNumber
Name
Value
6473764
SDRAM
4GB
6473764
Xeon
2300 Mhz
6473764
Video
256 MB
6473764
Bus
1300 Mhz
6473759
SDRAM
2GB
6473759
Xeon
2000 Mhz
6473759
Video
128 MB
6473759
Bus
1066 Mhz
I am trying to use PIVOT to convert this into Columns:
Item Number
SDRAM
Xeon
Video
Bus
6473764
4GB
2300 Mhz
256 MB
1300 Mhz
6473759
2 GB
2000 Mhz
128 MB
1066 Mhz
The problem is that I do not know the names of the columns before I run the query. I retrieve them based on a a list of Item Numbers:
SELECT DISTINCT Name FROM TableName WHERE ItemNumber IN (...)
What I was trying to do is the following, but I am not exactly sure what is wrong:
WITH ProductLines (ItemNumber, ItemName, ItemValue)
AS
(
SELECT ItemNumber, Name, Value FROM ProductItems WHERE ItemNumber IN (...)
)
SELECT * FROM ProductLines -- Don't know the column names
PIVOT
(
... -- Not sure what should come here
FOR ItemNumber IN (...)
)
Thanks a lot,
Aric Levin

I have two dynamic pivot tables that I need to join. The problem I'm running into is that at execution, one is ~7500 characters and the other is ~7000 characters.
I can't set them both up as CTEs and query, the statement gets truncated.
I can't use a temp table because those get dropped when the query finishes.
I can't use a real table because the insert statement gets truncated.
Do I have any other good options, or am I in Spacklesville?

I have a query
DECLARE @DynamicPivotQuery AS NVARCHAR(MAX)
DECLARE @ColumnName AS NVARCHAR(MAX)
--Get distinct values of the PIVOT Column
SELECT @ColumnName= ISNULL(@ColumnName + ',','')
+ QUOTENAME(name)
[Code] ....
and so on.
I've tried putting my group by everywhere but it's not working. I'm missing something but what?

I am having trouble figuring out why the following code throws an error:
declare
@cols nvarchar(50),
@stmt nvarchar(max)
select @cols = ('[' + W.FKStoreID + ']') from (select distinct FKStoreID from VW_PC_T) as W
select @stmt = '
select *
[Code] ...
The issue that I am having is:
Msg 245, Level 16, State 1, Line 4
Conversion failed when converting the varchar value '[' to data type int.
I know that I have to use the [ ] in order to run the dynamic sql. I am not sure what is failing and why as the syntax seems to be clean to me (obviously it is not).

I would like to use a dynamic pivot table in my data source view. It seems that a named query can be only one sql statement. So, I cannot use my multi-statement procedure that creates a dynamic pivot table output.
What is the best course of action here? I could hard-code my pivot table query. I could maintain a redundant table in the pivot format. Do I have any good options?

I have this pivot table (I only post the static version as the problem only regards the single quotes)
SELECT * from(
select DATEPART(year,DeliverydatePackingSlip) as Year,
CASE WHEN DiffPromiseDateFirst < 0 Then '1 - too early'
WHEN DiffPromiseDateFirst = 0 Then '2 - on time'
ELSE '3 - too late' END as Delivery
from iq4bisprocess.FactOTDCustomer
WHERE OTD_Exclusion = 0)a
PIVOT ( COUNT(Year)
For Year
in ([2012],[2013],[2014],[2015])) as pvtNow, packing everything in a string parameter I always stumble over the single quotes. I tried to replace them with CHAR(39), I tried to define a parameter for each occurrence, but always get a syntax error. What am I doing wrong?declare @sql nvarchar(max)
declare @title1 nvarchar(20)
declare @title2 nvarchar(20)
declare @title3 nvarchar(20)
set @title1 = '1 - too early'
set @title2 = '2 - on time'
set @title3 = '3 - too late'
[Code] .....
exec sp_executesql @sqlThis would throw:Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Line 3 Incorrect syntax near 'early'.
