here is my problem:
i have just one table, named "collector" and the columns are:
ledno(nvarchar(50))' the item number of a kind of led(a mini light source) which we use
ledname(nvarchar(50))' the name of the leds
quantity(int) ' how many leds we use on that part
partname(nvarchar(50) 'the parts name
and i want it to be this way;
ledno ledname partname(part name goes dynamically according to our records(the header))
202.a led-a 3 '(this is the total led-a used in the correct partname)
205.b led-b 6'(this is the total led-b used in the correct partname)
and the "partname" header musn't repeat itself , i hope i am able to tell my problem, i know it's simple for you but i couldn't manage may self, thanks again.

OK, a first draft (may need some adjustment, but I do not have your data 🙂
DECLARE @cols NVARCHAR(2000)
SELECT @cols = STUFF(( SELECT DISTINCT TOP 100 PERCENT
'],[' + t2.partname
FROM collector AS t2
ORDER BY '],[' + t2.partname
FOR XML PATH('')
), 1, 2, '') + ']'
DECLARE @query NVARCHAR(4000)
SET @query = N'SELECT ledno,
ledname, '+
@cols +'
FROM ( SELECT t1.ledno, t1.ledname, t1.quantity, t1.partname
FROM collector AS t1
) p PIVOT ( SUM(quantity) FOR partname IN ( '+
@cols +' )
) AS pvt
ORDER BY ledno;'
EXECUTE(@query)

hello again i am disturbing sorry but i have the errors but i couldn't find the reason, my table structure is exactly as i mentioned before .
errors:
Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Line 2
Incorrect syntax near '&'.
Msg 1038, Level 15, State 4, Line 2
An object or column name is missing or empty. For SELECT INTO statements, verify each column has a name. For other statements, look for empty alias names. Aliases defined as "" or [] are not allowed. Add a name or single space as the alias name.
Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Line 31

Unless I'm mis-reading it - there's a [ missing on this line:
) p PIVOT ( SUM(quantity) FOR partname IN ( '+
should be
) p PIVOT ( SUM(quantity) FOR partname IN ( ['+

Your lack of planning does not constitute an emergency on my part...unless you're my manager...or a director and above...or a really loud-spoken end-user..All right - what was my emergency again?

sorry still the same--- i feel like those asking everything guys.:(

Try this -
Instead of the EXECUTE - put in PRINT @sql. It will output the SQL code it generates (meaning - the query it's trying to execute. Paste that into a new window in SSMS, and see where it tells you the error is, or see if you see the error.
If you don't - then paste the output over here, and someone will hopefully spot the error.
Edit: Do you have any rows with NO partname on it? because that would make this bomb...
