Home Forums SQL Server 2005 Development Hiding columns with all zero values in dynamic pivot query RE: Hiding columns with all zero values in dynamic pivot query

    Sean,

    Thanks for the answer.

    This will work only when the designations are known beforehand,right?

    In my case the designations are not fixed and we take the values from the designation table.

    Any solution for this issue?

    regards,

    Sunitha

    That is correct. You will have to add another level of dynamic sql here to build the columns dynamically. I showed you how to do the hard part. I will leave the dynamic columns up to you. What have you tried there?
