Need help in Pivot

  • Hi,

    i have a data like this

    loan del recorddate

    1000 30 12/31/2014

    1000 60 1/31/2015

    1000 90 2/28/2015

    2000 curr 1/31/2015

    2000 30 2/28/2015

    2000 60 3/31/2015

    3000 60 2/28/2015

    3000 90 3/31/2015

    3000 curr 4/30/2015

    need to convert to

    loan 12/31/2014 1/31/2014 2/28/2014 1/31/2015 2/28/2015 3/31/2015

    1000 30 60 90 na na na

    2000 na na na curr 30 60

    While using pivot transformation i am getting error as

    "cannot convert pivot key value "12/31/2014" to the datatype of pivot key column

    just want to know any ideas and suggestions?

  • I used your data and just copied it to a text file. Then on the Data tab, I chose From Text, and specified during that process that the recorddate column was a date. After that it was easy.

    Rows: loan

    Columns: recorddate

    Value:Sum of del

  • OK got it..but the issue is if i run this one again next month it will not run ..because new loans will be added with end date 06/30/2015..As there will be no pivot column with 06/30/2015 ..it will generate error...is there any way we can generate pivot columns as soon as it will see new value?

  • One day, I promise to learn to read!

    If you have to do this in SSIS, I'm at a loss...
