SQL query for displaying product sales - sql

Question

I have sales table which consists, ItemSize, GroupName, Quantity, ProductID, etc...
Now I want to display sales according to following format
GroupName ItemSize Quantity ItemSize Quantity
means
BEER 350ml 500 650ml 1000
How I can achieve this in SQL SERVER 2005 EXPRESS (T-SQL)? Thanks
UPDATED:
its my sales table structure
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[SalesLog](
[SalesID] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
[MemoNo] [int] NULL,
[ProductCode] [int] NULL,
[Quantity] [int] NULL,
[Price] [int] NULL,
[ProductGroup] [int] NULL,
CONSTRAINT [PK_SalesLog] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED
(
[SalesID] ASC
) WITH (PAD_INDEX = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF) ON [PRIMARY]
) ON [PRIMARY]
its my Product table structure
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Products](
[ProductId] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
[pName] [nvarchar](50) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NULL,
[pSize] [int] NULL,
[pPrice] [int] NULL,
[pPackQty] [int] NULL,
[pGroup] [int] NULL,
[pCode] [int] NULL,
[pStock] [int] NULL,
[pYrStock] [int] NULL,
[pClearStock] [int] NULL,
CONSTRAINT [PK_Products] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED
(
[ProductId] ASC
) WITH (PAD_INDEX = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF) ON [PRIMARY]
) ON [PRIMARY]

Answer 1

You could aggregate the data using SUM and CASE statements.
Using your table definitions (and some very minimal made up data), here is an example of how you could do it:
--** Create test tables
DECLARE #SalesLog TABLE (
SalesID int IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
MemoNo int NULL,
ProductCode int NULL,
Quantity int NULL,
Price int NULL,
ProductGroup int NULL)
DECLARE #Products TABLE(
ProductId int IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
pName nvarchar(50) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NULL,
pSize int NULL,
pPrice int NULL,
pPackQty int NULL,
pGroup int NULL,
pCode int NULL,
pStock int NULL,
pYrStock int NULL,
pClearStock int NULL)
--** Setup test data
INSERT INTO #SalesLog ( MemoNo, ProductCode, Quantity, Price, ProductGroup)
SELECT 0, 1, 500, 0, 1 UNION
SELECT 0, 2, 700, 0, 1 UNION
SELECT 0, 2, 333, 0, 1 UNION
SELECT 0, 3, 200, 0, 2 UNION
SELECT 0, 4, 125, 0, 2 ;
INSERT INTO #Products (pName, pSize, pPrice, pPackQty, pGroup, pCode, pStock, pYrStock, pClearStock)
SELECT 'Beer', 350, 1 , 1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0 UNION
SELECT 'Beer', 650, 1 , 1, 1, 2, 0, 0, 0 UNION
SELECT 'Beer', 1000, 1 , 1, 1, 3, 0, 0, 0 UNION
SELECT 'Wine', 750, 1 , 1, 2, 4, 0, 0, 0 UNION
SELECT 'Wine', 1000, 1 , 1, 2, 5, 0, 0, 0 ;
--** Example query
SELECT t.pName AS 'Product'
, MAX(CASE WHEN t.Col = 1 THEN t.pSize END) AS 'Item Size'
, ISNULL(SUM(CASE WHEN t.Col = 1 THEN t.Quantity END),0) AS 'Quantity'
, MAX(CASE WHEN t.Col = 2 THEN t.pSize END) AS 'Item Size'
, ISNULL(SUM(CASE WHEN t.Col = 2 THEN t.Quantity END),0) AS 'Quantity'
, MAX(CASE WHEN t.Col = 3 THEN t.pSize END) AS 'Item Size'
, ISNULL(SUM(CASE WHEN t.Col = 3 THEN t.Quantity END),0) AS 'Quantity'
FROM (
SELECT pName
, pCode
, pGroup
, pSize
, sl.Quantity
, DENSE_RANK() OVER(PARTITION BY p.pGroup ORDER BY p.pSize) AS Col
FROM #Products AS p
LEFT JOIN #SalesLog AS sl
ON p.pGroup = sl.ProductGroup
AND p.pCode = sl.ProductCode
) AS t
GROUP BY t.pGroup
, t.pName
;
The query uses the DENSE_RANK function to group items of a size together and to order them in assending order of size and this is used to work out which column the data should be written to.
Although there is a PIVOT operator in SQL Server 2005 and above, it isn't very helpful when you have different column heading types (item size and quantity in this case).
You will have to decide on the maximum number of product sizes that you want to report on as this is hard coded into the query. So if the maximum number of product sizes is 3 then you code the query as shown above. If, however, one of your products has 4 different sizes, then you are going to add an additional Item Size and Quantity pair of columns for t.Col = 4 and so on.
I hope this helps.

Answer 2

It looks like you are trying to do a PIVOT table, where the different item sizes are represented as different columns rather than rows. Take a look at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms177410.aspx
