  Hi guys,

  I will really need you guys help on reformatting a table into another format for export in CSV file.

  I have a following table with sample data like below:
  
  
CREATE TABLE TimeTable
(WorkDate date,
EmpID int,
EmployeeName Varchar(20),
Code Varchar(20),
Starttime time,
Endtime time)
GO
INSERT INTO TimeTable
VALUES
('6/19/2017',     15, 'Tammy',     'ECDISP', '13:00:00', '20:30:00'),
('6/19/2017',    15,    'Tammy',    'Break', '20:30:00', '21:00:00'),
('6/19/2017',    15,    'Tammy',    'Lunch', '21:00:00', '22:00:00'),
('6/19/2017',    15,    'Tammy',    'ECDISP', '22:00:00', '1:00:00'),
('6/19/2017',    24,    'Dalstrom', 'Open',    '7:00:00', '10:45:00'),
('6/19/2017',    24,    'Dalstrom',    'Break', '10:45:00', '11:15:00'),
('6/19/2017',    24,    'Dalstrom', 'Lunch', '11:15:00', '11:30:00'),
('6/19/2017',    24,    'Dalstrom', 'Open', '11:30:00',    '15:00:00'),
('6/19/2017',    24,    'Dalstrom', 'Lunch', '15:00:00', '15:45:00'),
('6/19/2017',    24,    'Dalstrom', 'Open',    '15:45:00',    '19:00:00');


  And I want the output to be in the following format:
  

  Would you guys give me a hand on how to achieve this with T-SQL?

  Thanks a lot!

  Do you mean as HTML? "This format" and showing a picture doesn't really help.

  no, not html format.  As long as the query result is the same as what's in the picture, I am good.

  This?
  SELECT
    CAST(WorkDate AS VARCHAR(25)) + ' ' + CAST(Starttime AS VARCHAR(25)) AS WorkDateTime, 
     EmpID, 
     EmployeeName, 
     Code + '-Start' AS Code
FROM TimeTable
UNION ALL
SELECT 
    CAST(WorkDate AS VARCHAR(25)) + ' ' + CAST(Endtime AS VARCHAR(25)) AS WorkDateTime, 
     EmpID, 
     EmployeeName, 
     Code + '-End' AS Code
FROM TimeTable

  This?
  SELECT
    CAST(WorkDate AS VARCHAR(25)) + ' ' + CAST(Starttime AS VARCHAR(25)) AS WorkDateTime, 
     EmpID, 
     EmployeeName, 
     Code + '-Start' AS Code

SELECT 
    CAST(WorkDate AS VARCHAR(25)) + ' ' + CAST(Endtime AS VARCHAR(25)) AS WorkDateTime, 
     EmpID, 
     EmployeeName, 
     Code + '-End' AS Code
FROM TimeTable 

  Thanks.  But the order of the records are not the same as original table.  And the end date time needs to be on June 20, 2017 @1:00am instead of June 19, 2017 @1:00am for Tammy.

  If you need help ordering the results, try the ORDER BY statement. 

  To accomplish the other part, you will probably need to use a CASE statement in the second Select statement. Something like:

  CASE
     WHEN DATEDIFF(second, Startime, Endtime) < 0 THEN CAST(DATEADD(day, 1, WorkDate) AS VARCHAR(25)) + ' ' + CAST(Endtime AS VARCHAR(25)) 
     ELSE CAST(WorkDate AS VARCHAR(25)) + ' ' + CAST(Endtime AS VARCHAR(25))
END AS WorkDateTime

END AS WorkDateTime

  Thank you so much autoexcrement!!  The case statement for the date work wonderfully!  I did try order by and different combination of columns however, I still can't get it to order the way I want it to be......

  I'm really not sure how you want it sorted, would you like to explain it to us?

  Maybe you need to cast the whole "date + time" as a proper DateTime and sort by that? 

  
WITH CTE AS
(
SELECT
  CAST(CAST(WorkDate AS VARCHAR(25)) + ' ' + CAST(Starttime AS VARCHAR(25)) AS DATETIME2(0)) AS WorkDateTime,
  EmpID,
  EmployeeName,
  Code + '-Start' AS Code
FROM #TimeTable
UNION ALL
SELECT
  CAST(
    CASE
     WHEN DATEDIFF(second, Starttime, Endtime) < 0 THEN CAST(DATEADD(day, 1, WorkDate) AS VARCHAR(25))
     ELSE CAST(WorkDate AS VARCHAR(25))
    END
         + ' ' + CAST(Endtime AS VARCHAR(25))
  AS DATETIME2(0)) AS WorkDateTime,
  EmpID,
  EmployeeName,
  Code + '-End' AS Code
FROM #TimeTable
)
SELECT * FROM CTE ORDER BY EmpID, WorkDateTime

  The output and sorting should look like this:
  
  Order by the datetime stamp and by employeename and Code.

  Well refer to my last post and see if you can sort out the ORDER BY on your own. I'm sure you can. 🙂

  Read the table only once 😉
  
SELECT CAST( WorkDate AS datetime) + CAST(WorkTime AS datetime)
   + CASE WHEN Starttime > Endtime THEN 1 ELSE 0 END AS WorkDateTime,
  EmpID,
  EmployeeName,
  Code + '-' + TimeName AS Code
FROM TimeTable
CROSS APPLY( VALUES(1,StartTime, 'Start' ),(2,EndTime, 'End'))x(id,WorkTime,TimeName)
ORDER BY EmpID, WorkDate, StartTime;
