John[/quote]Thank you John!This was interesting.By the way my solution above had to be changed a little bit to take care of division by zero problem (when all droprates in countries is null or equal to zero) but handled that by adding a -0.0000001 dummy value to the division operator.As I only output a rounded 6 decimal value to the user it doesn´t affect anything.(ugly workaround I know, but easy ;-( Thank´s again! // ThomasWed, 06 Mar 2013 00:35:03 GMTtota00http://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic1426212-338-1.aspxLooking at Thomas' select statement made me think of one of my favorite functions, that (IMHO) doesn't get enough use: SIGNNow, this only works here because there are no negative numbers for each of the countries.

JohnTue, 05 Mar 2013 08:57:58 GMTJohn_Phttp://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic1426212-338-1.aspxProblem solved! :-)Here is the sql-statement that did the trick!SELECT *, (ISNULL(Denmark,0) +

Country FROM tblTest) s PIVOT (AVG(DropRate)FOR Country IN ([Denmark], [Finland], [Lithuania], [Norway], [Sweden]))P Many thanks to Visakh Murukes for the help!Best // ThomasTue, 05 Mar 2013 03:52:17 GMTtota00http://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic1426212-338-1.aspxOkey!I have come a bit on the way to a solution and have included a script for creating a test-table with sample dummy data in it!The result from the sql-statement now works fine except the total sum result that has to be divided by the number of columns that do not return null values or is greater then zero so in this case with the sample data it should be divided by 3 but how do I solve that?Sql statement:[code="sql"]SELECT *, ISNULL(Denmark,0) + ISNULL(Finland,0) + ISNULL(Lithuania,0) + ISNULL(Norway,0) + ISNULL(Sweden,0) AS Total FROM (SELECT DropRate,MarketingName, Manufacturer, Country FROM tblTest) s PIVOT (AVG(DropRate)FOR Country IN ([Denmark], [Finland], [Lithuania], [Norway], [Sweden]))P [/code]Generates output:MarketingName Manufacturer Denmark Finland Lithuania Norway Sweden TotaliPhone 3G Apple 1.408000000000 1.485000000000 0.000000000000 NULL 2.625000000000 5.518000000000What I need is:Should be: (difference is the division by three in this example)[code="sql"]SELECT *, (ISNULL(Denmark,0) + ISNULL(Finland,0) + ISNULL(Lithuania,0) + ISNULL(Norway,0) + ISNULL(Sweden,0)) / 3 AS Total FROM (SELECT DropRate,MarketingName, Manufacturer, Country FROM tblTest) s PIVOT (AVG(DropRate)FOR Country IN ([Denmark], [Finland], [Lithuania], [Norway], [Sweden]))P [/code]That generates output:MarketingName Manufacturer Denmark Finland Lithuania Norway Sweden TotaliPhone 3G Apple 1.408000000000 1.485000000000 0.000000000000 NULL 2.625000000000 1.839333333333But from time over time the amount of null or zero values in the columns will differ so I need intelligence in the sql-statement that takes care of this and this is above my knowledge for the moment :-(And of course this is very simplified and I have my reason to include a country that is not represented in the sample data and so on ;-)Here you go with the sample table.[code="sql"]/****** Object: Table [dbo].[tblTest]
