I have written a Dynamic Pivot Table Query based on the following. Here is a SQL FIDDLE for reference.
CREATE TABLE TestTable1 ([idnumber] INT, [DataTypeId] INT)
GO
INSERT INTO TestTable1
VALUES (1, 108), (1, 108), (1, 108), (2, 108),
(2, 108), (3, 108), (1, 109),(1, 109),
(1, 110),(2, 110),(1, 111),(4, 108),(4, 108),
(4, 110),(4, 111)
GO
Here is the Dynamic SQL that I wrote
DECLARE @SQL NVARCHAR(MAX),
@Cols NVARCHAR(MAX),
@ColsP NVARCHAR(MAX)
SELECT @Cols = STUFF((select ',
ISNULL([' + CAST([DataTypeId] as varchar(10)) + '], 0) AS ''' + CAST([DataTypeId] as varchar(10)) + ''''
FROM
(
SELECT [DataTypeId] FROM [TestTable1]
GROUP BY [DataTypeId]
HAVING [DataTypeId] <> ''
) AS d
ORDER BY [DataTypeId] FOR XML PATH(''),type).value('.','varchar(max)'),1,2,'')
-- /////////////THIS IS WHAT I WANT REMOVED ////////////////////
SELECT @ColsP = STUFF((select ',
[' + CAST([DataTypeId] as varchar(10)) + ']'
FROM
(
SELECT [DataTypeId] FROM [TestTable1]
GROUP BY [DataTypeId]
HAVING [DataTypeId] <> ''
) AS d
ORDER BY [DataTypeId] FOR XML PATH(''),type).value('.','varchar(max)'),1,2,'')
-- /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
SET @SQL = 'SELECT idnumber,' + @Cols + '
FROM
(SELECT idnumber, COUNT([DataTypeId]) AS Total, [DataTypeId] FROM [TestTable1]
GROUP BY idnumber, [DataTypeId]
HAVING [DataTypeId] <> ''''
) p
PIVOT
(
SUM(Total) FOR [DataTypeId] IN (' + @ColsP + ')
) AS pvt
ORDER BY pvt.idnumber'
-- print @SQL
EXECUTE( @SQL)
I get the result that I want:
| IDNUMBER | 108 | 109 | 110 | 111 |
|----------|-----|-----|-----|-----|
| 1 | 3 | 2 | 1 | 1 |
| 2 | 2 | 0 | 1 | 0 |
| 3 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| 4 | 2 | 0 | 1 | 1 |
But I am sure it can be done better. I would like to remove where I populate the variable @ColsP
- SELECT @ColsP = STUFF((select...")
There should be a way where I can create this dynamic code with just one loop through TestTable1
. As you can see, I loop through it twice. Once to read what columns to create for the select statement, and once for the PIVOT table.
Here is the code that is generated by the Dynamic SQL:
SELECT idnumber,
ISNULL([108], 0) AS '108',
ISNULL([109], 0) AS '109',
ISNULL([110], 0) AS '110',
ISNULL([111], 0) AS '111'
FROM
(
SELECT idnumber, COUNT([DataTypeId]) AS Total, [DataTypeId]
FROM [TestTable2]
GROUP BY idnumber, [DataTypeId]
HAVING [DataTypeId] <> ''
) p
PIVOT
(
SUM(Total) FOR [DataTypeId] IN ([108], [109], [110], [111])
) AS pvt
ORDER BY pvt.idnumber
