Hi
I have something like a table of users and other table with dates and working time for the users, i want to display the working hours for the users, but i need to see the date in columns.
I created a little script to show what i want, but i'm having a problem with the duplicate users.
DROP TABLE #Users
DROP TABLE #Working
CREATE TABLE #Users (Num INT, NAME NVARCHAR(5))
CREATE TABLE #Working (WorkDay SMALLDATETIME,Num INT, TimeWorked INT)
INSERT INTO #Users
SELECT 1,'User1'
UNION ALL
SELECT 2,'User2'
UNION ALL
SELECT 3,'User3'
INSERT INTO #Working
SELECT '01/01/2013',1,2
UNION ALL
SELECT '02/01/2013',1,0
UNION ALL
SELECT '03/01/2013',1,1
UNION ALL
SELECT '04/01/2013',1,4
UNION ALL
SELECT '05/01/2013',1,0
UNION ALL
SELECT '01/01/2013',2,0
UNION ALL
SELECT '02/01/2013',2,0
UNION ALL
SELECT '03/01/2013',2,20
UNION ALL
SELECT '04/01/2013',2,20
UNION ALL
SELECT '05/01/2013',2,20
UNION ALL
SELECT '01/01/2013',3,30
UNION ALL
SELECT '02/01/2013',3,30
UNION ALL
SELECT '03/01/2013',3,0
UNION ALL
SELECT '04/01/2013',3,0
UNION ALL
SELECT '05/01/2013',3,0
SELECT * FROM #Users
SELECT * FROM #Working
SELECT DISTINCT
U.Num,
U.NAME,
[1] = CASE WHEN MONTH(W.WorkDay) = 1 THEN W.TimeWorked ELSE 0 END,
[2] = CASE WHEN MONTH(W.WorkDay) = 2 THEN W.TimeWorked ELSE 0 END,
[3] = CASE WHEN MONTH(W.WorkDay) = 3 THEN W.TimeWorked ELSE 0 END,
[4] = CASE WHEN MONTH(W.WorkDay) = 4 THEN W.TimeWorked ELSE 0 END,
[5] = CASE WHEN MONTH(W.WorkDay) = 5 THEN W.TimeWorked ELSE 0 END
FROM #Users U INNER JOIN #Working W ON U.Num = W.Num
In the end the query will be built on the fly, with the help of the tally table, i just pass 2 paramteres to the sp, the year and the month...
Thanks

The request is a little unclear to me. Can you supply a sample of what you would expect from the resultset so we can understand further?

Hi

I have to reply with text, in this machine i don't have any sql server installed.

So if i run the above code i get something like this:

Num Name 1 2 3 4 5 ---> Column Names

1 User1 2 0 0 0 0

1 User1 0 0 0 0 0

1 User1 0 0 1 0 0

1 User1 0 0 0 4 0

1 User1 0 0 0 0 0

and something equal for the other users...

WHat i'm trying to achieve it's to only have one row for each user like this:

Num Name 1 2 3 4 5 ---> Column Names

1 User1 2 0 1 4 0

You were SO close...

SELECT

U.Num,

U.NAME,

[1] = SUM(CASE WHEN MONTH(W.WorkDay) = 1 THEN W.TimeWorked ELSE 0 END),

[2] = SUM(CASE WHEN MONTH(W.WorkDay) = 2 THEN W.TimeWorked ELSE 0 END),

[3] = SUM(CASE WHEN MONTH(W.WorkDay) = 3 THEN W.TimeWorked ELSE 0 END),

[4] = SUM(CASE WHEN MONTH(W.WorkDay) = 4 THEN W.TimeWorked ELSE 0 END),

[5] = SUM(CASE WHEN MONTH(W.WorkDay) = 5 THEN W.TimeWorked ELSE 0 END)

FROM #Users U INNER JOIN #Working W ON U.Num = W.Num

GROUP BY U.Num, U.Name;

You can learn more about this technique (cross tab) at the following link.

And thank you VERY much for the test data setup and the sample code. It made helping you very easy to do. I wish more people would take the small bit of time.

RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
