Okey!
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:
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
Generates output:
MarketingNameManufacturerDenmarkFinlandLithuaniaNorwaySwedenTotal
iPhone 3GApple1.4080000000001.4850000000000.000000000000NULL2.6250000000005.518000000000
What I need is:
Should be: (difference is the division by three in this example)
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
That generates output:
MarketingNameManufacturerDenmarkFinlandLithuaniaNorwaySwedenTotal
iPhone 3GApple1.4080000000001.4850000000000.000000000000NULL2.6250000000001.839333333333
But 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.
