Hi Team,
I need to convert the column to rows but within group. example
Group Name Value
p a 1
p b 2
p c 3
p d 4
q a 5
q b 6
q d 7
r a 8
r b 9
r c 10
r d 11
This need to be transposed to :
Group a b c d
p1234
q56NULL7
r891011
Any help would be great !
Thanks

CREATE TABLE #Temp([Group] CHAR(1),Name CHAR(1),Value INT)

INSERT INTO #Temp([Group],Name,Value)

SELECT 'p','a',1 UNION ALL

SELECT 'p','b',2 UNION ALL

SELECT 'p','c',3 UNION ALL

SELECT 'p','d',4 UNION ALL

SELECT 'q','a',5 UNION ALL

SELECT 'q','b',6 UNION ALL

SELECT 'q','d',7 UNION ALL

SELECT 'r','a',8 UNION ALL

SELECT 'r','b',9 UNION ALL

SELECT 'r','c',10 UNION ALL

SELECT 'r','d',11

SELECT [Group],

SUM(CASE WHEN Name = 'a' THEN Value END) AS [a],

SUM(CASE WHEN Name = 'b' THEN Value END) AS ,

SUM(CASE WHEN Name = 'c' THEN Value END) AS [c],

SUM(CASE WHEN Name = 'd' THEN Value END) AS [d]

FROM #Temp

GROUP BY [Group]

For more information on how that works and an alternative along with some performance testing, please see the following article...

--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.
