Please have a look at the CrossTab article referenced in my signature for an alternative way.

The CrossTab method will also make it a lot easier to return dynamic yearmonth columns if needed. This concept is described in detail in the DynamicCrossTab article also referenced in my signature.

That article does an excellent job of walking you through how to do it. Just substitute your columns in the appropriate places.

Step 1: remove those dozens (or even hudreds) of rather useless lines in your previous post.

Step 2: read the first article referenced in my signature

Step 3: provide ready to use sample data following the guideline described in step 2

Step 4: add your expected output based on your sample data together with what you've tried so far and where you got stuck (I'd expect to see some code based on Jeff's CrossTab article).

We're here to help you but you should also help us help you.

Cool... let's see what you've tried. Also, take a peek at the first link in my signature line below. It'll help you get better help a lot more quickly.

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.

I hope this would work for you:

SELECT * FROM (SELECT Source, YearMonth, CountEntery FROM tbl) AS a

PIVOT(SUM(CountEntery) FOR YearMonth IN (2003-04,2003-05)) AS p

i tried with below query i getting syntax error as

Msg 1033, Level 15, State 1, Line 19

The ORDER BY clause is invalid in views, inline functions, derived tables, subqueries, and common table expressions, unless TOP or FOR XML is also specified.

Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Line 21

Incorrect syntax near '2003'.

The script i Used is

with CTETemp

as(

Select CASE

When SourceCode = 'WENR' Then 'A'

When SourceCode = 'WCHG' Then 'B'

When SourceCode = 'EVLV' Then 'C'

Else 'Other'

End as Sorce,

Substring(CONVERT(varchar(19),RegisterTimestamp,120),1,7) as YearMonth,

COUNT(EmailAddrID) As CountEntery

From Warehouse.dbo.tblCustomerEmailAddress

Group By Substring(CONVERT(varchar(19),RegisterTimestamp,120),1,7),

Case When SourceCode = 'WENR' Then 'A'

When SourceCode = 'WCHG' Then 'B'

When SourceCode = 'EVLV' Then 'C'

Else 'Other'

End

Order By Substring(CONVERT(varchar(19),RegisterTimestamp,120),1,7) ,Sorce

)

SELECT * FROM (SELECT Sorce, YearMonth, CountEntery FROM CTETemp) AS a

PIVOT(COUNT(Emailaddrid) FOR YearMonth IN (2003-04,2003-05)) AS p

still getting Syntax error as

Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Line 20

Incorrect syntax near '2003'.

WayneS SSC Guru Points: 95460 More actions · Answer 12

So, where all do you have '2003'?

Oh, it's here:

(2003-04,2003-05))

how about putting those in quotes, like:

('2003-04','2003-05'))

It seems like you really don't want to get help.

You ignore the advice Wayne gave you (even a link showing you the effect of ready to use sample data), Jeffs advice and the stuff I recommended. And I don't think it's a language barrier...

@Wayne: the OP is all yours!
