Hello,
I have a sql table as below
AutoIdPIDItemIdItemItemValue Date
7560 432 1 Wbc 4 05/05/12 00:00
7561 432 2 HCT 4 05/05/12 00:00
7562 432 3 W/L/M 4 05/05/12 00:00
7563 432 4 Bilirubin 485 06/05/12 00:00
7564 432 1 Wbc 45 06/05/12 00:00
7565 432 2 HCT 4 06/05/12 00:00
I tried to use the pivot to display the result as below. But it didn't worked for me. Does any one have any idea on how to get this done?
AutoIdPIDItemIdItem 05/05/1206/05/12
7560 4321Wbc 4
75614322 HCT 4
75624323 W/L/M 4

Check out the links in my signature about cross tabs. I suspect you will end up wanting to use the dynamic version.

~~Am I the only one that doesn't think a Pivot is necessary here?~~

Never mind. The lack of indentation got me.

--Jeff Moden

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.
