Convert horizontal table to vertical in Sql
-
I have the following table format:
need to convert this table to following format:I looked for PIVOT function in other questions, but the "Key" values in input table is not a fixed set of values, they can be anything. I also looked for other such questions but I am not sure in my case, how the query should be written.
Any help will be appreciated, thanks!
my code is
SELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY RouteCode) As SrNo,RouteCode as X,
sum(Units) as Y
FROM [INTERFACE_ok].[dbo].[v_A40OrdersBhQt]
where [DeliveryDate] > CAST(FLOOR(CAST(GETDATE() AS FLOAT))AS DATETIME) and CustomerCode LIKE '900%'
GROUP BY [RouteCode] -
Are the N1–N7 column headings fixed or dynamic?

Sounds like you need to create some dynamic SQL.
There are a few articles on this:

GROUP BY [RouteCode]You're confusing a database with a spreadsheet. Databases are strongly typed, whereas spreadsheets are not. This means that the database needs to have one single data type for all fields in column, whereas a spreadsheet can freely mix data types in a single column. You are trying to mix string and integer data types in the same column, that is, you're trying to model a spreadsheet. While you can force the fields to the same data type, it's not advisable. You should look at doing this in your reporting software instead of in T-SQL.

I agree with Drew's response. This is a job for a reporting tool.
