Generic grouping and counting enumeration values
-
I have a questionnaire report and the questions is answered with A, B, C or D. My solution is strait forward with a CTE with a bunch of unions. Is there possible to make it more generic? (using column index?)
-- Test sample for grouping and counting enum values
-- Table with some questions in differents areas, answer in enum.
-- Enum : Estimation = (A, B, C, D)
declare @Estimation table
(
Id int not null primary key,
Clinic nvarchar(20) not null,
AreaA char(1) null,
AreaB char(1) null,
AreaC char(1) null,
AreaD char(1) null,
AreaE char(1) null
-- some more area questions
);
insert into @Estimation values(1, N'ClinicZ', N'A', N'A', N'B', N'D', N'C');
insert into @Estimation values(2, N'ClinicY', N'C', N'D', N'D', N'C', N'A');
insert into @Estimation values(3, N'ClinicY', N'A', N'D', N'D', N'A', N'B');
insert into @Estimation values(4, N'ClinicT', N'C', N'A', N'D', N'A', N'C');
insert into @Estimation values(5, N'ClinicZ', N'C', N'B', N'D', N'A', N'C');
insert into @Estimation values(6, N'ClinicZ', N'C', N'C', N'B', N'B', N'C');
insert into @Estimation values(7, N'ClinicT', N'A', N'B', N'D', N'D', N'C');
insert into @Estimation values(8, N'ClinicY', N'C', N'B', N'A', N'A', N'C');
insert into @Estimation values(9, N'ClinicX', N'A', N'C', N'B', N'B', N'C');
insert into @Estimation values(10, N'ClinicX', N'A', N'C', N'A', N'B', N'A');
insert into @Estimation values(11, N'ClinicY', N'B', N'A', N'A', N'D', N'C');
insert into @Estimation values(12, N'ClinicX', N'A', N'B', N'A', N'B', N'D');
insert into @Estimation values(13, N'ClinicY', N'A', N'C', N'B', N'D', N'D');
insert into @Estimation values(14, N'ClinicZ', N'D', N'C', N'B', N'C', N'D');
insert into @Estimation values(15, N'ClinicT', N'B', N'C', N'D', N'A', N'D');
insert into @Estimation values(16, N'ClinicZ', N'C', N'C', N'D', N'C', N'B');
insert into @Estimation values(17, N'ClinicZ', N'A', N'A', N'B', N'C', N'C');
insert into @Estimation values(18, N'ClinicT', N'C', N'C', N'C', N'A', N'B');
insert into @Estimation values(19, N'ClinicT', N'C', N'C', N'D', N'C', N'D');
insert into @Estimation values(20, N'ClinicT', N'A', N'B', N'B', N'C', N'A');
-- Result
-- |Clinic |Area |A|B|C|D|
-- |ClinicT|AreaA|2|1|3|0|
-- |ClinicT|AreaB|1|2|3|0|
-- |ClinicT|AreaC|0|1|1|4|

Here's a simpler alternative to your query
select e.Clinic,ca.Area,
sum(case when ca.AreaVal = 'A' then 1 else 0 end) as A,
sum(case when ca.AreaVal = 'B' then 1 else 0 end) as B,
sum(case when ca.AreaVal = 'C' then 1 else 0 end) as C,
sum(case when ca.AreaVal = 'D' then 1 else 0 end) as D
from @Estimation e
cross apply (values('AreaA',AreaA),('AreaB',AreaB),('AreaC',AreaC),('AreaD',AreaD),('AreaE',AreaE)) ca(Area,AreaVal)
group by e.Clinic,ca.Area
order by e.Clinic,ca.Area;If you want this to be more generic, have a look here for some pointers

The version is 2019 so the OP could use IIF 🙂
select e.Clinic,ca.Area,
sum(iif(ca.AreaVal='A', 1, 0)) A, sum(iif(ca.AreaVal='B', 1, 0)) B,
sum(iif(ca.AreaVal='C', 1, 0)) C, sum(iif(ca.AreaVal='D', 1, 0)) D
from @Estimation e
cross apply (values('AreaA',AreaA),('AreaB',AreaB),('AreaC',AreaC),
('AreaD',AreaD),('AreaE',AreaE)) ca(Area,AreaVal)
group by e.Clinic,ca.Area
order by e.Clinic,ca.Area;Aus dem Paradies, das Cantor uns geschaffen, soll uns niemand vertreiben können

Thanks, cross apply, makes it simpler, and easy to extend.
Edit: Missed ca.Area. IIF seems nice, need to try.
Thanks 🙂
