We need to list all numbers as a flat data set, how can we do that?
Table Name: Telephone
ID TYPE NUMBER
==================================
123 MN 042153939
123 HN 2242116
123 MN 1234567890
123 HN 12345678
Create Table Telephone
(
ID Integer,
Type char(3),
Number Varchar(20)
);
insert into Telephone values
(123, 'MN', '042153939'),
(123, 'HN', '2242116'),
(123, 'MN', '1234567890'),
(123, 'HN', '12345678');
I want SQL to return data in this format
ID MN#1 Mn#2 HN#1 HN#2
================================================
123 042153939 1234567890 2242116 12345678
Dynamic approach
Init
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS #Telephone;
CREATE TABLE #Telephone(ID INT,Type CHAR(3),Number VARCHAR(20));
INSERT INTO #Telephone (ID,Type,Number) VALUES
(123, 'MN', '042153939'),
(123, 'HN', '2242116'),
(123, 'MN', '1234567890'),
(123, 'HN', '12345678');
The code
DECLARE #ColumnList NVARCHAR(MAX);
SELECT #ColumnList = STUFF((SELECT ',[' + RTRIM(t.[Type]) + '#'
+ CONVERT(NVARCHAR(255),ROW_NUMBER()OVER(PARTITION BY t.[Type] ORDER BY t.ID)) + ']'
FROM #Telephone t FOR XML PATH(''),TYPE).value('(./text())[1]','NVARCHAR(MAX)'),1,1,'')
;
DECLARE #sql NVARCHAR(MAX) = '';
SET #sql = N'
SELECT ID,' + #ColumnList + N'
FROM (
SELECT t.ID,t.Number, RTRIM(t.[Type]) + ''#'' + CONVERT(NVARCHAR(255),ROW_NUMBER()OVER(PARTITION BY t.[Type] ORDER BY t.ID)) AS [Type]
FROM #Telephone t
) a
PIVOT(MAX(a.Number) FOR a.Type IN (' + #ColumnList + N')) p
'
;
--PRINT #sql
IF #sql IS NOT NULL EXEC(#sql);
try pivoting like below :
SELECT first_column AS <first_column_alias>,
[pivot_value1], [pivot_value2], ... [pivot_value_n]
FROM
(<source_table>) AS <source_table_alias>
PIVOT
(
aggregate_function(<aggregate_column>)
FOR <pivot_column> IN ([pivot_value1], [pivot_value2], ... [pivot_value_n])
) AS <pivot_table_alias>;
We can try using a pivot query with the help of ROW_NUMBER():
WITH cte AS (
SELECT *, ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY TYPE DESC, NUMBER) rn
FROM Telephone
)
SELECT
ID,
MAX(CASE WHEN rn = 1 THEN NUMBER END) AS [MN#1],
MAX(CASE WHEN rn = 2 THEN NUMBER END) AS [MN#2],
MAX(CASE WHEN rn = 3 THEN NUMBER END) AS [HN#3],
MAX(CASE WHEN rn = 4 THEN NUMBER END) AS [HN#4]
FROM cte
GROUP BY ID;
You may try this. with row_number() and pivot.
For more info about pivot you may find this link PIVOT.
; with cte as (
select row_number() over (partition by type order by id ) as Slno, * from Telephone
)
, ct as (
select id, type + '#' + cast(slno as varchar(5)) as Type, values from cte
)
select * from (
select * from ct
) as d
pivot
( max(values) for type in ( [MN#1],[Mn#2],[HN#1],[HN#2] )
) as p
I have a table and values as shown here
create table #example(id int primary key identity, cols varchar(255))
insert into #example(cols) values('HI,HELLO,BYE,TC')
insert into #example(cols) values('WHAT,ARE,YOU,DOING,HERE')
I need the resultant output as shown in the picture
Note : There is no limit for values i.e dynamic
This is what you are expecting
Schema:
CREATE TABLE #EXAMPLE(ID INT PRIMARY KEY IDENTITY, COLS VARCHAR(255))
INSERT INTO #EXAMPLE(COLS) VALUES('HI,HELLO,BYE,TC')
INSERT INTO #EXAMPLE(COLS) VALUES('WHAT,ARE,YOU,DOING,HERE')
Do split those comma separated values into Rows and Apply pivot
SELECT * FROM (
SELECT id
, ROW_NUMBER() OVER(PARTITION BY ID ORDER BY (SELECT 1)) AS ID2
, SPLT.CLMS.value('.','VARCHAR(MAX)') AS LIST FROM (
select id
, CAST( '<M>'+REPLACE(cols,',','</M><M>')+'</M>' AS XML) AS XML_COL from #example E
)E
CROSS APPLY E.XML_COL.nodes('/M') AS SPLT(CLMS)
)A
PIVOT
(
MAX(LIST) FOR ID2 IN ([1],[2],[3],[4],[5])
)PV
You will get result as
+----+------+-------+-----+-------+------+
| id | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 |
+----+------+-------+-----+-------+------+
| 1 | HI | HELLO | BYE | TC | NULL |
| 2 | WHAT | ARE | YOU | DOING | HERE |
+----+------+-------+-----+-------+------+
Edit:
And now you need to go for dynamic pivot,since There is no limit for values.
DECLARE #COLS VARCHAR(MAX)='', #QRY VARCHAR(MAX)='';
SELECT #COLS =#COLS+'['+CAST( ID2 AS VARCHAR(10))+'],' FROM (
SELECT DISTINCT ROW_NUMBER() OVER(PARTITION BY ID ORDER BY (SELECT 1)) AS ID2 FROM (
select id, CAST( '<M>'+REPLACE(cols,',','</M><M>')+'</M>' AS XML) AS XML_COL from #example E
)E
CROSS APPLY E.XML_COL.nodes('/M') AS SPLT(CLMS)
)A
SELECT #COLS = LEFT(#COLS,LEN(#COLS)-1)
SELECT #QRY =
'
SELECT * FROM (
SELECT id
, ROW_NUMBER() OVER(PARTITION BY ID ORDER BY (SELECT 1)) AS ID2

CROSS APPLY E.XML_COL.nodes(''/M'') AS SPLT(CLMS)
)A
PIVOT
(
MAX(LIST) FOR ID2 IN ('+#COLS+ ')
)PV'
EXEC( #QRY)
Dynamic version base on split string then pivot table
Schema:
create table #example(id int primary key identity, cols varchar(255))
insert into #example(cols) values('HI,HELLO,BYE,TC')
insert into #example(cols) values('WHAT,ARE,YOU,DOING,HERE')

I want to convert rows as column (like PIVOT) and i am unable to get if the number of values increases.
Below is my table.
i want the output like this.
I have used the following queries to acheive this but no luck.

You need an extra field to get some order in that data with all the duplicates.
For example a primary key.
Then you can use a pivot with a row_number that uses that extra field in the order by.
Then concat the row_number with the name1, and Pivot on those.
For example :
create table #temp (id int identity(1,1), instanceid int, submissionid int, name1 varchar(20), value1 varchar(20));
insert into #temp(instanceid,submissionid,name1,value1) values
(5151,5532,'First','Mujda'),
(5151,5532,'Last','Zhublawar'),
(5151,5532,'Question_1','Y'),
(5151,5532,'First','Mujda1'),
(5151,5532,'Last','Zhublawar1'),
(5151,5532,'Question_1','Y'),
(5151,5532,'First','Mujda1'),
(5151,5532,'Last','Zhublawar1'),
(5151,5532,'Question_1','Y'),
(5151,5533,'First','Muthu'),
(5151,5533,'Last','Kumar'),
(5151,5533,'Question_1','Y'),
(5151,5534,'First','Suresh'),
(5151,5534,'Last','Kumar'),
(5151,5534,'Question_1','Y'),
(5151,5534,'First','Suresh1'),
(5151,5534,'Last','Kumar1'),
(5151,5534,'Question_1','Y');
SELECT
instanceid,
submissionid,
[First1] as [1st First], [Last1] as [1st Last], [Question_11] as [1st Question_1],

To do it the dynamic way, here's some SQL to generate a #SQL variable.
declare #T table (name1 varchar(20));
insert into #T select name1 from #temp group by name1 order by name1;
declare #SQL nvarchar(max);
declare #Fields1 nvarchar(max);
declare #Fields2 nvarchar(max);
SELECT #Fields2 = STUFF((select ', ' + quotename(name1) from #T order by name1 FOR XML PATH('')),1,1,'');
SET #Fields2 = replace(#Fields2,']','1]')+','+char(13)+replace(#Fields2,']','2]')+','+char(13)+replace(#Fields2,']','3]');
SELECT #Fields1 = STUFF((select ',$' + quotename(name1+n)+' as '+quotename(nx+' '+name1) from (
select '1' as n, '1st' as nx, name1 from #T union all
select '2', '2nd' as nx, name1 from #T union all
select '3', '3rd' as nx, name1 from #T
) q order by n, name1 FOR XML PATH('')),1,1,'');
SET #Fields1 = replace(#Fields1,'$',char(13));
SET #SQL =
'SELECT
instanceid,
submissionid,'+#Fields1+'
FROM (
select
instanceid,
submissionid,
concat(name1, row_number() over (partition by instanceid, submissionid, name1 order by id)) as name_rn, value1
from #temp
) t
PIVOT( MAX(value1)
FOR name_rn IN ('+char(13)+#Fields2+')
) AS Pvt';
select #SQL;
--Get unique values of pivot column
SELECT #PivotColumns= COALESCE(#PivotColumns + ',','') + QUOTENAME(seq)
FROM (
select DISTINCT (name1) as seq
from #temp group by value1,name1,instanceid
) AS PivotExample
This are is your problem you are concatenating a row_number into the name1 value which would always be null. Your column list needs to be the DISTINCT values in name1 NOT what you want them to be in the end. If you want to rename columns you would alias them after the pivot or change the value in name1 prior to running the pivot.
So in the above code I removed the ROW_NUMBER() and added DISTINCT to the derived table.
Also note the test data you included has some instanceid & submissionid combinations that are missing certain fields like first name, or question. It looks like when copying and pasting you just didn't correct the correlations.
I am trying to convert column to rows. I am beginner to PIVOT. Tried below code but error is coming as 'Error converting data type nvarchar to datetime.
The incorrect value "Tot_GPS_Cnt" is supplied in the PIVOT operator.'
CREATE TABLE #tbl_Res1
(
CallDate DATETIME,
Tot_GPS_Cnt INT,
Tot_GND_Cnt INT,
Per_Ratio NUMERIC(10,2)
)
INSERT INTO #tbl_Res1
SELECT '2015-04-24 00:00:00.000','40','26','65.00' UNION ALL
SELECT '2015-04-25 00:00:00.000','22','14','63.64' UNION ALL
SELECT'2015-04-26 00:00:00.000','27','21','77.78' UNION ALL
SELECT'2015-04-27 00:00:00.000','41','23','56.10'
Source Table
Desired Output
I have tried with below query bu failing. Please help. Thanks in advance
SELECT CallDate=col, Tot_GPS_Cnt, Tot_GND_Cnt, Per_Ratio
FROM
( select CallDate, col, value from #tbl_Res1
cross apply
(
SELECT 'Tot_GPS_Cnt',cast(Tot_GPS_Cnt as varchar(10)) UNION ALL
SELECT 'Tot_GND_Cnt', cast(Tot_GND_Cnt as varchar(10)) UNION ALL
SELECT 'Per_Ratio', cast(Per_Ratio as varchar(10))
) c (col,value)
) d
PIVOT
(
max(value) for CallDate in ([Tot_GPS_Cnt], [Tot_GND_Cnt], [Per_Ratio])
) as piv
The correct syntax for PIVOT is:
PIVOT
(
<aggregation function>(<column being aggregated>)
FOR
[<column that contains the values that will become column headers>]
IN ( [first pivoted column], [second pivoted column],
... [last pivoted column])
) AS <alias for the pivot table>
Hence, you have to place date values not [Tot_GPS_Cnt], [Tot_GND_Cnt], [Per_Ratio] in place of pivoted columns:
SELECT CallDate=col, [2015-04-24], [2015-04-25], [2015-04-26], [2015-04-27]
FROM
( select CallDate, col, value from #tbl_Res1
cross apply
(
SELECT 'Tot_GPS_Cnt',cast(Tot_GPS_Cnt as varchar(10)) UNION ALL
SELECT 'Tot_GND_Cnt', cast(Tot_GND_Cnt as varchar(10)) UNION ALL
SELECT 'Per_Ratio', cast(Per_Ratio as varchar(10))
) c (col,value)
) d
PIVOT
(
max(value) for CallDate in ([2015-04-24], [2015-04-25], [2015-04-26], [2015-04-27])
) as piv

My question is really how to ensure that the ORDER of the OUTPUT is maintained when using dynamic query to get data out. I have a couple of dynamic queries that I am utilizing and I notice that when I run the same query on different machines, I get output in different orders. Currently, I store the data outputted into a temp table which assume the order of the output to be the same as that on my local machine but on production, it is all switched up. How do I get more control of this so that every time the query is run, the order of the output is maintained?
When I go to use an Order BY in my dynamic query I get the error
Msg 1033, Level 15, State 1, Line 18
The ORDER BY clause is invalid in views, inline functions, derived tables, subqueries, and common table expressions, unless TOP, OFFSET or FOR XML is also specified.

Please note the difference btw local machine where the order seems alphabetical
[Label1],[unit1],[Val1],[PAID1],[Label2],[unit2].
. . .
while on Production machine, it is not
[PAID1],[Label1],[Val1],[Unit1],[PAID2],[Label2],[Val2],[Unit2], .. . . .
I think there is one only obvious answer. Use the order by clause in the dynamic query.
Simply, all queries whether dynamic or not are not guaranteed to come out the same on different machines!
If the order of the results is important to you, use ORDER BY
For example:
SELECT *
FROM TBL
ORDER BY FIRSTNAME
If you want order then use an order by.
In absence of an order by there is no guaranteed order.
If there is a tie then no guarantee the sort will repeat on the tie.
Use enough columns there is no tie.
It appears you are referring to order of the columns not rows.
If you select * you will the the columns in the order they are defined in the table.
If you need to control the order of the columns then don't use *.
select table1.col4, table1.col2
from table1
May be you can try this
'select *
from
(
select ProductID,
col + cast(rn as varchar(10)) new_col,
val
from
(
select top 100 percent
Cast (PAID as NVarchar(3072)) PAID
,Cast (ProductID as NVarchar(3072)) ProductID
,Cast (Label as NVarchar(3072)) Label
,Cast (Val as NVarchar(3072)) Val
,Cast (unit as NVarchar(3072)) unit
,row_number() over(partition by ProductID order by ProductID) rn
from #ibutes
order by row_number() over(partition by ProductID order by ProductID) asc
) x
unpivot
(
val
for col in ('+ #colsunpivot +')
) u
) x1
pivot
(
max(val)
for new_col in
('+ #colspivot +')
) p'
Now that we know where you're adding the ORDER BY, the answer is clearer.
You're trying to order the query whose results are inserted into #colsPivot and that's the problem.
ORDER BY is mainly used for ordering the final results and thus should be on the final query (the dynamic one).
The exception to this is if it is used as part of a "limiting" query (eg. TOP 10).
Try adding the ORDER BY to the dynamic query and let us know if it worked.
why not change the following:
set #query = 'select *
from
to something like
set #query = 'select *
into #x
from
you'll need to explicitly create #x before the dynamic sql i.e
create table #x
(
blah int,
blah char(8)
)
then after the exec statement have a further query
select *
from #x
order by whatever
Can you try the following?
Add the order by below to the first query
select #colsUnpivot = stuff((select ','+quotename(C.name)
from tempdb.sys.columns as C
where C.object_id = object_id('tempdb..#ibutes') AND C.name Not in ('ProductID')
ORDER BY c.column_id --Add this
for xml path('')), 1, 1, '')
change the order by below of the second query
select #colsPivot = STUFF((SELECT ',' + quotename(c.name + cast(t.rn as varchar(10)))
from
(
select row_number() over(partition by ProductID order by ProductID) rn from #ibutes
) t
cross apply
tempdb.sys.columns as C
where C.object_id = object_id('tempdb..#ibutes') AND C.name Not in ('ProductID')
group by c.name, t.rn
ORDER BY c.column_id --Change this
FOR XML PATH(''), TYPE
).value('.', 'NVARCHAR(MAX)')
,1,1,'')
Hope that helps...
