Can you please post the schema of the temp table, and the table you're updating from, as well as some sample data for both and the desired output.

Thanks

this is the structure of table to be updated

Id Int NOT NULL,

JAN_TOTALInt DEFAULT 0,

FEB_TOTALInt DEFAULT 0,

MAR_TOTALInt DEFAULT 0,

APR_TOTALInt DEFAULT 0,

MAY_TOTALInt DEFAULT 0,

JUN_TOTALInt DEFAULT 0,

JUL_TOTALInt DEFAULT 0,

AUG_TOTALInt DEFAULT 0,

SEP_TOTALInt DEFAULT 0,

OCT_TOTALInt DEFAULT 0,

NOV_TOTALInt DEFAULT 0,

DEC_TOTALInt DEFAULT 0

this is the structure of table to update from

ID Int NOT NULL

MM int (indicates which month is it)

TotalAmount (holds total amount for the month)

I have to update first table with the data from totalamount field of second table joining on ID for the particaular month. I tried case statement did not work. I had to update 12 times for 12 months. Thank you.

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.

Do you have to update or can you insert ?

INSERT cross_tab_table

select id,

sum(CASE WHEN MM = 1 THEN TotalAmount ELSE 0 END) as JAN_TOTAL,

sum(CASE WHEN MM = 2 THEN TotalAmount ELSE 0 END) as FEB_TOTAL,

sum(CASE WHEN MM = 3 THEN TotalAmount ELSE 0 END) as MAR_TOTAL,

sum(CASE WHEN MM = 4 THEN TotalAmount ELSE 0 END) as APR_TOTAL,

sum(CASE WHEN MM = 5 THEN TotalAmount ELSE 0 END) as MAY_TOTAL,

sum(CASE WHEN MM = 6 THEN TotalAmount ELSE 0 END) as JUN_TOTAL,

sum(CASE WHEN MM = 7 THEN TotalAmount ELSE 0 END) as JUL_TOTAL,

sum(CASE WHEN MM = 8 THEN TotalAmount ELSE 0 END) as AUG_TOTAL,

sum(CASE WHEN MM = 9 THEN TotalAmount ELSE 0 END) as SEP_TOTAL,

sum(CASE WHEN MM = 10 THEN TotalAmount ELSE 0 END) as OCT_TOTAL,

sum(CASE WHEN MM = 11 THEN TotalAmount ELSE 0 END) as NOV_TOTAL,

sum(CASE WHEN MM = 12 THEN TotalAmount ELSE 0 END) as DEC_TOTAL
