For the pivot, I posted something like what you are trying to do a little while ago..

It shouldn't be too hard to switch it around for a quarterly summary too.

I've always stayed away from dynamic sql inside a stored procedure as I thought that SQL server wasn't able to cache the execution plan, so the static strucutre would be...

I agree with Wikipedia on this one too. If the question was more precise, using the decimal abbreviation, then I'd have only checked the decimal answers. Unfortunately I...

... And what about the Not in List option? I didn't see DATEPART(month,join_date) in (1,2,3,4,5,8) in the list, so that should be a valid option too

Thats what i'd say too, keep it simple and do a union with the two sets of logic.

Here's what I came up with....

SELECT [Pentile],

ISNULL([1],0)'Jan',

ISNULL([2],0)'Feb',

ISNULL([3],0)'Mar',

ISNULL([4],0)'Apr',

ISNULL([5],0)'May',

ISNULL([6],0)'Jun',

ISNULL([7],0)'Jul',

ISNULL([8],0)'Aug',

ISNULL([9],0)'Sep',

ISNULL([10],0)'Oct',

ISNULL([11],0)'Nov',

ISNULL([12],0)'Dec'

FROM (SELECT [MonthNr], [Pentile], [DetailAmt] FROM CyclePentileDetail_tb

WHERE DetailType = @SegmentID AND SegmentID = @DetailType) A

PIVOT (SUM([DetailAmt])

...

Thanks, thats the operator that I couldn't recall. I was trying Cube, which wasn't getting me there, but I knew there was a way!

Thanks for the feedback. I've thought about it a bit more too, and will probably go with a child table for the quick insert (to the user), then if...

I want my point! datatype or not, I can't pick the choice that doesn't return my correct age! 2 was the only one that worked for me, so...

Thanks for pointing out the difference in sql versions!

Thanks for posting the solution you found. I figured it would be something like that, but now we all know!

For whatever reason you need to display the same column twice, you should alias the column so try:

select distinct firstname as fname, firstname from customers

order by firstname

You have to include all columns you are including in the summary result, unless you are doing some kind of an aggregate on the column... thus the error message.

np, glad to help

Why not try to dosomething like ...

select @UserNamePro = pro.Alias, @EntityID = pro.ProviderEntityID

from

Migration.dbo.util_DH_Providers pro

where pro.ProviderEntityID = @PersonID

if @UserNamePro is Null

set @EntityType = 'Professional'

else

set...
