I have the following crosstab query in Access:
Transform Count(1) as Count
Select Cust,[Cust#],EntryDate,CloseDate
from Tbl1,Dates
where EntryDate>=[start date]
Group by Cust,[Cust#],EntryDate,CloseDate
Order by EntryDate
Pivot Quote;
I am having difficulty converting this to T-SQL.
Should I be using SSIS for Pivot transformation in order to solve this,
or do we have an equivalent SQL Server query for this?
We don't really have enough information to convert that specific crosstab query, so here is a simple example that may help you achieve your goal:
For a table named [Vehicles] containing...
VehicleID VehicleMake VehicleModel VehicleType
--------- ----------- ------------ ------------
1 Ford Focus Compact car
2 Ford F-150 Pickup truck
3 Dodge RAM 1500 Pickup truck
4 Toyota Tundra Pickup truck
5 Toyota Prius Hybrid car
6 Toyota Tacoma Pickup truck
...the Access crosstab query...
TRANSFORM Count(Vehicles.VehicleID) AS CountOfVehicleID
SELECT Vehicles.VehicleType
FROM Vehicles
GROUP BY Vehicles.VehicleType
PIVOT Vehicles.VehicleMake;
...returns:
VehicleType Dodge Ford Toyota
------------ ----- ---- ------
Compact car 1
Hybrid car 1
Pickup truck 1 1 2
The following T-SQL script accomplishes the same thing
DECLARE
@ColumnList AS NVARCHAR(MAX),
@SQL AS NVARCHAR(MAX)
-- build the list of column names based on the current contents of the table
-- e.g., '[Dodge],[Ford],[Toyota]'
-- required by PIVOT ... IN below
-- ref: http://stackoverflow.com/a/14797796/2144390
SET @ColumnList =
STUFF(
(
SELECT DISTINCT ',' + QUOTENAME([VehicleMake])
FROM [Vehicles]
FOR XML PATH(''), TYPE
).value('.', 'NVARCHAR(MAX)'),
1,
1,
'')
SET @SQL = '
WITH rollup
AS
(
SELECT VehicleMake, VehicleType, COUNT(VehicleID) AS n FROM [Vehicles]
GROUP BY VehicleMake, VehicleType
)
SELECT * FROM rollup
PIVOT (SUM([n]) FOR [VehicleMake] IN (' + @ColumnList + ')) AS Results'
EXECUTE(@SQL)
It returns:
VehicleType Dodge Ford Toyota
------------ ----- ---- ------
Compact car NULL 1 NULL
Hybrid car NULL NULL 1
Pickup truck 1 1 2
drop table #tmpT1
select distinct UserField2 into #tmpT1 from CreateExcelForm
--select * from #tmpT1
DECLARE @PivotColumnHeaders VARCHAR(MAX)
SELECT @PivotColumnHeaders =
COALESCE(
@PivotColumnHeaders + ',[' + cast(UserField2 as varchar) + ']',
'[' + cast(UserField2 as varchar)+ ']'
)
FROM #tmpT1
print(@PivotColumnHeaders)
DECLARE @PivotTableSQL NVARCHAR(MAX)
SET @PivotTableSQL = N'
SELECT *
FROM (
SELECT
* from CreateExcelForm
) AS PivotData
PIVOT (
max(StockCode)
FOR UserField2 IN (
' + @PivotColumnHeaders + '
)
) AS PivotTable
'
EXECUTE(@PivotTableSQL)
