SQL Server - Complex Dynamic Pivot multiple columns - sql

Question

FYI, this question is already answered but I have some new requirements which is very complex to implement so, I am posting it as a new question instead of editing the old question: (Previous Question)
I have two tables "Controls" and "ControlChilds" (in the ControlChilds table we have added a new column called ControlChildComments which we need to show in PIVOT output)
Parent Table Structure:
Create table Controls(
ProjectID Varchar(20) NOT NULL,
ControlID INT NOT NULL,
ControlCode Varchar(2) NOT NULL,
ControlPoint Decimal NULL,
ControlScore Decimal NULL,
ControlValue Varchar(50)
)
Sample Data
ProjectID | ControlID | ControlCode | ControlPoint | ControlScore | ControlValue
P001 1 A 30.44 65 Invalid
P001 2 C 45.30 85 Valid
Child Table Structure:
Create table ControlChilds(
ControlID INT NOT NULL,
ControlChildID INT NOT NULL,
ControlChildValue Varchar(200) NULL,
ControlChildComments Varchar(200) NULL
)
Sample Data
ControlID | ControlChildID | ControlChildValue | ControlChildComments
1 100 Yes Something
1 101 No NULL
1 102 NA Others
1 103 Others NULL
2 104 Yes New one
2 105 SomeValue NULL
Based on my previous question (Previous Question) I got this output (You can refer to the PIVOT queries which produces this output in the answer given by #bluefeet. Thanks again #bluefeet.)
But now my requirement is changed and I need ControlChildComments after each Child values. For example, A_Child1, A_Child1Comments, A_Child2, A_Child2Comments etc...
Another tricky thing is I need to show the comments only when they are not null otherwise I shouldn't show the column. For example, in this case, it should be like this:
A_Child1, A_Child1Comments, A_Child2, A_Child3, A_Child3Comments, A_Child4, C_Child1, C_Child1Comments, C_Child2
Is this possible? I tried lot of things but the results are not accurate.

Answer 1

Since you now have multiple columns in your ControlChilds table that you need to PIVOT, you will need to use the similar method of unpivoting them first that you applied with the Controls table.
You will need to unpivot both the ChildControlValue and ChildControlComments using code similar to:
select
projectId,
col = ControlCode+'_'+subCol+cast(seq as varchar(10)),
value
from
(
select c.ProjectId,
c.ControlCode,
cc.ControlChildValue,
cc.ControlChildComments,
row_number() over(partition by c.ProjectId, c.ControlCode
order by cc.ControlChildId) seq
from controls c
inner join controlchilds cc
on c.controlid = cc.controlid
) d
cross apply
(
select 'ChildValue', ControlChildValue union all
select 'ChildComments', ControlChildComments
) c (subCol, value);
See SQL Fiddle with Demo. This gets your data in the format:
| PROJECTID | COL | VALUE |
|-----------|------------------|-----------|
| P001 | A_ChildValue1 | Yes |
| P001 | A_ChildComments1 | Something |
| P001 | A_ChildValue2 | No |
| P001 | A_ChildComments2 | (null) |
| P001 | A_ChildValue3 | NA |
You then use this code in your existing query:
select ProjectId,
A_ControlPoint, A_ControlScore, A_ControlValue,
A_ChildValue1, A_ChildComments1, A_ChildValue2,
A_ChildComments2, A_ChildValue3, A_ChildComments3,
A_ChildValue4, A_ChildComments4,
C_ControlPoint, C_ControlScore, C_ControlValue,
C_Child1, C_Child2
from
(
select
ProjectId,
col = ControlCode +'_'+col,
val
from
(
select
c.ProjectId,
c.ControlCode,
c.ControlPoint,
c.ControlScore,
c.ControlValue
from controls c
) d
cross apply
(
select 'ControlPoint', cast(controlpoint as varchar(10)) union all
select 'ControlScore', cast(ControlScore as varchar(10)) union all
select 'ControlValue', ControlValue
) c (col, val)
union all
select
projectId,
col = ControlCode+'_'+subCol+cast(seq as varchar(10)),
value
from
(
select c.ProjectId,
c.ControlCode,
cc.ControlChildValue,
cc.ControlChildComments,
row_number() over(partition by c.ProjectId, c.ControlCode
order by cc.ControlChildId) seq
from controls c
inner join controlchilds cc
on c.controlid = cc.controlid
) d
cross apply
(
select 'ChildValue', ControlChildValue union all
select 'ChildComments', ControlChildComments
) c (subCol, value)
) src
pivot
(
max(val)
for col in (A_ControlPoint, A_ControlScore, A_ControlValue,
A_ChildValue1, A_ChildComments1, A_ChildValue2,
A_ChildComments2, A_ChildValue3, A_ChildComments3,
A_ChildValue4, A_ChildComments4,
C_ControlPoint, C_ControlScore, C_ControlValue,
C_Child1, C_Child2)
) piv;
See SQL Fiddle with Demo. Finally, you'll implement this in your dynamic SQL script:
DECLARE #cols AS NVARCHAR(MAX),
#query AS NVARCHAR(MAX)
select #cols = STUFF((SELECT ',' + QUOTENAME(col)
from
(
select ControlCode,
col = ControlCode +'_'+col,
seq,
so
from controls
cross apply
(
select 'ControlPoint', 0, 0 union all
select 'ControlScore', 0, 1 union all
select 'ControlValue', 0, 2
) c (col, seq, so)
union all
select ControlCode,
col = ControlCode+'_'+subcol+cast(rn as varchar(10)),
rn,
so
from
(
select ControlCode,
row_number() over(partition by c.ProjectId, c.ControlCode
order by cc.ControlChildId) seq
from controls c
inner join controlchilds cc
on c.controlid = cc.controlid
) d
cross apply
(
select 'ChildValue', seq, 3 union all
select 'ChildComments', seq, 4
) c (subcol, rn, so)
) src
group by ControlCode, seq, col, so
order by ControlCode, seq, so
FOR XML PATH(''), TYPE
).value('.', 'NVARCHAR(MAX)')
,1,1,'')
set #query = 'SELECT ProjectId, ' + #cols + '
from
(
select ProjectId,
col = ControlCode +''_''+col,
val
from
(
select
c.ProjectId,
c.ControlCode,
c.ControlPoint,
c.ControlScore,
c.ControlValue
from controls c
) d
cross apply
(
select ''ControlPoint'', cast(controlpoint as varchar(10)) union all
select ''ControlScore'', cast(ControlScore as varchar(10)) union all
select ''ControlValue'', ControlValue
) c (col, val)
union all
select
projectId,
col = ControlCode+''_''+subCol+cast(seq as varchar(10)),
value
from
(
select c.ProjectId,
c.ControlCode,
cc.ControlChildValue,
cc.ControlChildComments,
row_number() over(partition by c.ProjectId, c.ControlCode
order by cc.ControlChildId) seq
from controls c
inner join controlchilds cc
on c.controlid = cc.controlid
) d
cross apply
(
select ''ChildValue'', ControlChildValue union all
select ''ChildComments'', ControlChildComments
) c (subCol, value)
) x
pivot
(
max(val)
for col in (' + #cols + ')
) p '
exec sp_executesql #query;
See SQL Fiddle with Demo. Both of these gives a result:
| PROJECTID | A_CONTROLPOINT | A_CONTROLSCORE | A_CONTROLVALUE | A_CHILDVALUE1 | A_CHILDCOMMENTS1 | A_CHILDVALUE2 | A_CHILDCOMMENTS2 | A_CHILDVALUE3 | A_CHILDCOMMENTS3 | A_CHILDVALUE4 | A_CHILDCOMMENTS4 | C_CONTROLPOINT | C_CONTROLSCORE | C_CONTROLVALUE | C_CHILDVALUE1 | C_CHILDCOMMENTS1 | C_CHILDVALUE2 | C_CHILDCOMMENTS2 |
|-----------|----------------|----------------|----------------|---------------|------------------|---------------|------------------|---------------|------------------|---------------|------------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|---------------|------------------|---------------|------------------|
| P001 | 30.44 | 65.00 | Invalid | Yes | Something | No | (null) | NA | Others | Others | (null) | 45.30 | 85.00 | Valid | Yes | New one | SomeValue | (null) |

Answer 2

Here is an example of a dynamic crosstab. Since you have multiple columns you would need to adjust the dynamic portion of this to suit.
if OBJECT_ID('Something') is not null
drop table Something
create table Something
(
ID int,
Subject1 varchar(50)
)
insert Something
select 10868952, 'NUR/3110/D507' union all
select 10868952, 'NUR/3110/D512' union all
select 10868952, 'NUR/4010/D523' union all
select 10868952, 'NUR/4010/HD20' union all
select 12345, 'asdfasdf'
declare #MaxCols int
declare #StaticPortion nvarchar(2000) =
'with OrderedResults as
(
select *, ROW_NUMBER() over(partition by ID order by Subject1) as RowNum
from Something
)
select ID';
declare #DynamicPortion nvarchar(max) = '';
declare #FinalStaticPortion nvarchar(2000) = ' from OrderedResults Group by ID order by ID';
with E1(N) AS (select 1 from (values (1),(1),(1),(1),(1),(1),(1),(1),(1),(1))dt(n)),
E2(N) AS (SELECT 1 FROM E1 a, E1 b), --10E+2 or 100 rows
E4(N) AS (SELECT 1 FROM E2 a, E2 b), --10E+4 or 10,000 rows max
cteTally(N) AS
(
SELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY (SELECT NULL)) FROM E4
)
select #DynamicPortion = #DynamicPortion +
', MAX(Case when RowNum = ' + CAST(N as varchar(6)) + ' then Subject1 end) as Subject' + CAST(N as varchar(6)) + CHAR(10)
from cteTally t
where t.N <=
(
select top 1 Count(*)
from Something
group by ID
order by COUNT(*) desc
)
select #StaticPortion + #DynamicPortion + #FinalStaticPortion
--declare #SqlToExecute nvarchar(max) = #StaticPortion + #DynamicPortion + #FinalStaticPortion;
--exec sp_executesql #SqlToExecute
