I have a query that compares two tables which returns a certain value.
I would like to count a certain values in a row. Is this possible?
Example Query:
Name / Column1 / Column2 / Column3
John / 1 / 1 / 2
Tom / 0 / 1 / 2
Mary / 1 / 1 / 1
I need to count the value of "1"
John = 2,
Tom = 1,
Mary = 3.

HI,

Will you always only have three cols to check and count?

Also how do you want your results returned?

thanks

SELECTName,

CASE WHEN Column1 = 1 THEN 1 ELSE 0 END

+ CASE WHEN Column2 = 1 THEN 1 ELSE 0 END

+ CASE WHEN Column3 = 1 THEN 1 ELSE 0 END AS CountOfOne

FROMTable1

18 columns to be exact. I need a total for each row with a vale of "1" from there I can get the value of "2" or "3" by changing the query.

I need to count the value of "1"

John = 2

Tom = 1

Mary = 3

Tim = 4

and so on.

I think you should have told us from the beginning.

DECLARE@Sample TABLE (Name VARCHAR(4), Column1 INT, Column2 INT, Column3 INT)

INSERT@Sample

SELECT'John', 1, 1, 2 UNION ALL

SELECT'Tom', 0, 1, 2 UNION ALL

SELECT'Mary', 1, 1, 1

SELECTp.Name,

p.theValue,

COUNT(*) AS Items

FROM@Sample AS s

UNPIVOT(

theValue

FOR theColumn IN (s.[Column1], s.[Column2], s.[Column3])

) AS p

GROUP BY p.Name,

p.theValue

ORDER BYp.Name,

p.theValue

What you need is this

SELECTp.Name,

p.theValue,

COUNT(*) AS Items

FROMYourTableNameHere AS s

UNPIVOT(

theValue

FOR theColumn IN (s.[Column1], s.[Column2], ... , s.[Column18])

) AS p

GROUP BY p.Name,

p.theValue

ORDER BYp.Name,

p.theValue

N 56°04'39.16"
