Crosstab query in Sql
-
Is that possible to achieve? I have a table like this:
Product Location Type Day Qty
A StoreA a1 0 2
A StoreB a2 1 4
B StoreA a3 0 1
B StoreB a4 1 5
I'd like to run a select statement that will me:
Product Location Type 0 1
A StoreA a1 2
A StoreB a2 4
B StoreA a3 1
B StoreB a4 5
I normally do a crosstab query in Access to achieve this, but I will be more happy if someone teaches me how to do that in select statement from sqlserver. Thank you very much.

Hey,
SQL might look something like this:
SELECT
Product,
Location,
Type,
day_0 = SUM(CASE WHEN day = 0 THEN qty ELSE 0 END),
day_1 = SUM(CASE WHEN day = 1 THEN qty ELSE 0 END)
FROM
Products
GROUP BY
Product, Location, Type
Regards,
JP

Here is the link to a dynamic cross tab query builder that works close to the Access Cross Tab.

Thanks to Bob Monahon for is answer to my previous question.

For easy solutions to all kinds of crosstab/pivoting problems check out the RAC utility.Similar in concept to Access crosstab but much more powerful with many options/features.Fully integrated to sql server as RAC is a system of server sp's and functions.In addition, RAC easily simulates many of the analytic functions that (hopefully) will be in Yukon,ie. row_number().rank,dense_rank etc.This makes RAC an alternative general problem solving tool as analytic functions are much easier to grasp than complicated and convuluted sql89/92.
Note that for crosstabs/pivoting RAC does not use heaps of CASE statements nor CURSORS
RAC v2.2 and QALite @
Check out RAC at:

we use the following sp to
accomplish this :
/*
Pivot Table stored procedure
Description:
Generates simple pivot tables on data, and outputs the final SQL statement via Print
For example, given data as shown below:
ID year type amt
----------- ----------- ----------- -----------
7 1999 1 23
8 1999 2 44
9 1999 3 55
10 2000 1 66
11 2000 2 77
12 2000 3 88
13 1999 1 11
... you can pivot the data to show the years down the side
and the types across the top...
year 1 2 3 RowTotal
----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- -----------
1999 34 44 55 133
2000 66 77 88 231
... and get the SQL which would produce this table
SELECT Pivot_Data.*,
(Pivot_Data.[1] + Pivot_Data.[2] + Pivot_Data.[3]) AS RowTotal
FROM (SELECT [year],
SUM(CASE [type] WHEN '1' THEN [amt] ELSE 0 END) AS [1],
SUM(CASE [type] WHEN '2' THEN [amt] ELSE 0 END) AS [2],
SUM(CASE [type] WHEN '3' THEN [amt] ELSE 0 END) AS [3]
FROM (select * from zzjunk) AS Base_Data
GROUP BY [year]) AS Pivot_Data
.. by calling the procedure as shown below:
exec sp_Query_Pivot 'select * from zzjunk', '[year]', '[type]',
'Select distinct [type] from zzjunk', 'SUM', '[amt]', 'Y'
-- Base_Data_SQL gets all data from zzjunk
-- group by year
-- use the type column as headings
-- get the list of types available from the junk table,
-- use 'SUM' at each cell
-- sum the '[amt]' column
-- include a summary for the row
Example 2:
sp_Query_Pivot 'select * from fin_ben_allocation as fba inner join bmo_group as bg
on fba.beneficiary_id = bg.bmo_group_id',
'[eng_id]', '[bmo_group_desc_short]',
'Select bmo_group_desc FROM bmo_group', 'SUM', '[avoidance_pct]', 'Y'
Returns:
eng_id PCCG E! PCG IBG Corp RowTotal
----------- ---------------------------------------- -----
1 1 34 0 0 0 35
2 100 0 34 24 12 170
Arguments:
Base_Data_SQL SQL that returns data to be summarized
Row_Headings Comma-separated list of rows to use as groupings of data
Column_Heading Column to use as heading
Column_Head_SQL SQL that returns set of possible column headings
Operation SUM, PRODUCT, etc
Op_Argument Column to use as argument in operation
Steps in Routine:
1. Get list of distinct column headings
2. Looping through column headings, ALTER SQL for pivot
3. Add summary SQL if required
4. Execute

Here is a adhoc Code Generator for Basic Crosstab functionality.
Of course SQL 2005 will now have the PIVOT statement to make this easier!

Thank you for all of the excellent helps. I tried all of the ways, and they all work great for me.

Hi Guys
I need help desperately. My problem is also the Pivot functionality in sql server 2000
I am trying to convert my Access sql to server. My access code is
TRANSFORM Sum([3rollupall].SumOfSumOfBOND_AMOUNT) AS SumOfSumOfSumOfBOND_AMOUNT
SELECT [3rollupall].SUBURB, [3rollupall].price_band, Sum([3rollupall].SumOfSumOfBOND_AMOUNT) AS [Total Of SumOfSumOfBOND_AMOUNT]into [3rollupall_Crosstab]
FROM [3rollupall]
GROUP BY [3rollupall].SUBURB, [3rollupall].price_band
PIVOT [3rollupall].institution;
Any ideas how i can convert this??
Thanks a million

I need to know what do you have in Institution field. In my case, my cross tab query looks like this:
TRANSFORM Sum(a.Q) AS SumOfQ
SELECT a.product, a.location, a.Type
FROM tbl_a a INNER JOIN tbl_b b
where a.location = b.location
GROUP BY a.product, a.location, a.Type
ORDER BY a.location, a.day
PIVOT a.day;
I convert to sql like this:
SELECT a.product, a.location, a.type,
d0 = SUM(CASE WHEN a.day = 0 THEN a.q ELSE null END),
d1 = SUM(CASE WHEN a.day = 1 THEN a.q ELSE null END),
d2 = SUM(CASE WHEN a.day = 2 THEN a.q ELSE null END),
d3 = SUM(CASE WHEN a.day = 3 THEN a.q ELSE null END),
d4 = SUM(CASE WHEN a.day = 4 THEN a.q ELSE null END),
d5 = SUM(CASE WHEN a.day = 5 THEN a.q ELSE null END),
d6 = SUM(CASE WHEN a.day = 6 THEN a.q ELSE null END)
from tbl_a a inner join tbl_b b on a.location = b.location
group by a.product, a.location, a.type
Hope this will help.

I found example given by dtamati very good.but that some bug when running the script with @Add_Row_Summary char='Y'
i also no sure why declare @type tinyint=0, dtamati didn't explain what parameter need to pass in and i assume it always 0.
so i am doing is
change who part of
--finish SQL
if @type=0
Set @sql = @sql + char(13) + ' into ##temp FROM (' + @Base_Data_SQL + ') AS Base_Data '
+ char(13) + 'GROUP BY ' + @Row_Headings
else
Set @sql = 'insert into ##Temp ' + @sql + char(13) + ' FROM (' + @Base_Data_SQL + ') AS Base_Data '
+ char(13) + 'GROUP BY ' + @Row_Headings
to
if (@Add_Row_Summary='N')
Set @sql = @sql + char(13) + ' into ##temp FROM (' + @Base_Data_SQL + ') AS Base_Data '
+ char(13) + 'GROUP BY ' + @Row_Headings
else
Set @sql = @sql + char(13) + ' FROM (' + @Base_Data_SQL + ') AS Base_Data '
+ char(13) + 'GROUP BY ' + @Row_Headings
and problem solve when i pass @Add_Row_Summary char='Y' or @Add_Row_Summary char='Y' .
