Pivot in SSMS porting to SSRS

  • I wrote this, and it works fine in SSMS. But i would prefer it in SSRS so the user can just run it and then open in Excel.  I am wondering if i can port this to SSRS.  I tried, it didn't work for me.
    Thoughts?

    USE GTM_ODS
    SELECT
    *
    From
      (SELECT
      ISNULL(Line_item_Duty,0) as [DUTY],
      [Supplier] as [SUPPLIER],
      Datepart(MM,Entry_Summary_Date) as [MONTH]
        from [ADHOC].[ATS_ESH] H
    INNER JOIN ADHOC.ATS_ESL L
      ON H.TRANS_SK = L.trans_Sk
    WHERE
    H.Importer = 'FORD'
    AND Entry_Summary_Date > '1/1/2018')
    as Data
    PIVOT
    (
    Sum([DUTY])
    FOR 
    [Month] 
      IN ("01","02","03","04","05","06","07","08","09","10","11","12")
    ) AS JEFF
    order by [01] Desc

  • "it didn't work for me"? What do you mean? Did you get an error, unexpected results? You didn't like what you saw?

    Rather than using a SQL query to PIVOT your data and using that data as your dataset in SSRS, consider doing the pivoting in SSRS using a Matrix.

    You could always put the SQL into a stored proc and use that as your SSRS source.

    Rather than using a SQL query to PIVOT your data and using that data as your dataset in SSRS, consider doing the pivoting in SSRS using a Matrix.

    Without the IN() clause in the pivot, how do you force the existence of columns in the pivot? Use an outer join to a Tally table? Otherwise, if there are no results for a month, then the column will drop out of the pivot instead of showing zeroes.

    Yes, you'll need something to determine your groupings if there are no results, certainly. Using a Tally table, or Calendar Table (considering the OP's Pivot is on Month), would certainly solve that issue.

    Yes, I'm wondering why people think that "it didn't work for me" is a suitable description of their problem.  You're going to have to be a LOT more specific if you want help troubleshooting this problem.

    If the end result is going to be used in an Excel spreadsheet anyway, would it make sense to not pivot the data in SQL, not use SSRS, and just have a query and pivot table in Excel that they can refresh the data on?
