Hi,
I just read on web that we can not use grouping columns in a variable when using PIVOT operator. For example like,
USE AdventureWorks
GO
SELECT VendorID, [164] AS Emp1, [198] AS Emp2, [223] AS Emp3, [231] AS Emp4, [233] AS Emp5
FROM
(SELECT PurchaseOrderID, EmployeeID, VendorID
FROM Purchasing.PurchaseOrderHeader) p
PIVOT
(
COUNT (PurchaseOrderID)
FOR EmployeeID IN
( [164], [198], [223], [231], [233] ) // cannot put these in a variable like @Col
) AS pvt
ORDER BY VendorID;
Though it can be achieved using when making the query using dynamic sql. If some can make it clear why it is possible using dynamic sql and not with the above code.
I moved my OLAP DB to SQL Server 2005, installed Microsoft OLE DB Provider for Analysis Services 9.0 on the client and keep creating Pivot Tables in Excel until...
Grouping - when I try to group couple of members (or even 1 for that matter) I'm getting :
"Intrnal error: An unexpected error occurred (file"mdinfo.cpp", line 3335 function "MDInfo::Init")."
The only reference to mdinfo error I found in OLAP newsgroup where a guy was getting it trying to process the cube. My cube is processed (obviuosly). So, anybody knows what has changed with respect to grouping in PTS?
Hi! I am trying to do something that I would think should be rather simple.I have a SQLDataSource that has a simple select statement.I have a String Variable st_tempI know my SQLDataSource returns only one value, and it's a string.HOW DO I DO somehitng like st_temp=SQLDataSource.Select;I am getting nothing but errorrs Thanks in advance Dan
i have 2 columns named firstname and lastname, i need to get them into 1 column named name with a space between them. Does anyone have a tip to do this?
Hi,I was trying to retrieve some data in such a way that it 2 columns willbe merged into one, with a column in between. I am trying to dosomething like this:SELECT LastName + ", " + FirstName AS NameFROM EmployeeTBLORDER BY LastNameBut SQL Server does not like this syntax (though it does work with"LastName + FirstName").I appreciate any help.Thanks,Aaron
I'm actually a Mysql user, not a SQL Server user, just becouse the business I work uses it. But the problem I've had I think doesn't have any relation on the plataform it's running...
This is a construction software... I'll try my best to explain you : My table has 4 main columns (Face,Station,Combination,sAs). Face , Station and Combination form a primary key (never repeat together) and the "sAs" represents a calculus between some parameters.
The problem (it became a challenge already :D) consists in selecting the Face,Station and Combination where sAs is maximus, BUT grouping ONLY Face and Station.
For example :
Face Station Combination sAs F1 0 Comb1 45 F1 0 Comb2 13 F1 0 Comb3 30 --- F1 10 Comb1 42 F1 10 Comb2 60 F1 10 Comb3 12 --- F2 0 Comb1 32 F2 0 Comb2 15 F2 0 Comb3 01 --- F2 10 Comb1 02 F2 10 Comb2 07 F2 10 Comb3 23
Here is the challenge : If you execute the following query : "select Face,Station,Combination,max(sas) as sAS from test group by Face,Station" it returns you an arbitrary Combination for the rows in the resultset.
Face Station Combination sAs F1 0 Comb1 45 F1 10 Comb1 60 F2 0 Comb1 32 F2 10 Comb1 23
But the combination I'd like to have is the combination related to the maximus sAs in F1/10, Comb2 instead of Comb1 returned..... The same occurs with the last row F2/10.
The query I wanna find should return the following resultset.
Face Station Combination sAs F1 0 Comb1 45 F1 10 Comb2 60 F2 0 Comb1 32 F2 10 Comb3 23
Please, if somebody has any idea, share it to help me....
Thanks a lot..
Rodrigo
Some code to make it easier to try.... Maybe it has some difference between SQL Server and MySQL.
////////////// CUT HERE
create table test( Face varchar(20), Station int, Combination varchar(20), sAs int );
insert into test values('F1', 0, 'Comb1', 45); insert into test values('F1', 0, 'Comb2', 3); insert into test values('F1', 0, 'Comb3', 30); insert into test values('F1', 10, 'Comb1', 42); insert into test values('F1', 10, 'Comb2', 60); insert into test values('F1', 10, 'Comb3', 12); insert into test values('F2', 0, 'Comb1', 32); insert into test values('F2', 0, 'Comb2', 15); insert into test values('F2', 0, 'Comb3', 01); insert into test values('F2', 10, 'Comb1', 02); insert into test values('F2', 10, 'Comb2', 07); insert into test values('F2', 10, 'Comb3', 23);

Hi,I have the following SQLSELECT Table1.Col1, Table3.Col1 AS Expr1,COUNT(Table1.Col2) AS Col2_No, COUNT(Table1.Col3) AS Col3_No etc,FROM Table3INNER JOIN Table2 ON Table3.Col1=Table2.Col1RIGHT OUTER JOIN Table1 ON Table2.Col2=Table2.Col2GROUP BY Table1.Col1, Table3.Col1The output rows have a value in either Table1.Col1 or Table3.Col1 but notboth.I'd like to combine Table1.Col1 and Table3.Col1 and group by the combinedcolumn in the result but don't know how.Thanks gratefully
I am retrieving some data from Invoices, Customers and Companies tables as follows, but would like to make the customerName and the Companies.Name as single column such Name and similarly for customerID/companyID and customerCode/companyCode.
Code: with cte as ( selectdistinct i.invoiceNumber, itemID, customers.customerID, Companies.companyID ,SUM(net_weight) as totalWeight, rate ,(select SUM(net_weight) * rate) as amount
I am using sql table named as product which is having columns partno,partnm,weight,surfacearea,totalhr,type
I want sum of weight,surfacearea,totalhr and grouping on partno,partnm,type
If I use query select partno,partnm,sum(weight),sum(surfacearea),sum(totalhr) from product GROUP BY partno,partnm then its working correctly with sum and grouping but if I use query select partno,partnm,sum(weight),sum(surfacearea),sum(totalhr),type from product GROUP BY partno,partnm,type then it is not grouping as expected.
why if third column included in group by clause its not working correctly...Is there any way to group as I want.
The goal is to group all this transactions by Month and Year.
Something like this....
MS030_A MS030_F MS036_A MS036_F MS040_A MS040_F Month Year
3 2 2 2 2 2 1 2006
4 4 7 9 8 9 2 2006
10 10 6 8 8
3 2006
4 4 5 5 3 2 4 2006
5 6 8 3 7 1 5 2006 For just one date column it is pretty straight forward i.e., just do a select count and group by DATEPART ( Mm, DateField) but for multiple columns i am in a total fix....
I am connecting to SSAS cube from Excel and I have date dimension with 4 fields (I have others but I don't use it for this case). I created 4 fields in order to test all possible scenarios that I could think of:
DateKey: - Type: System.Integer - Value: yyyyMMdd Date: - Type: System.DateTime DateStr0: - Type: System.String - Value: dd/MM/yyyy (note: I am not using US culture) - Example: 01/11/2015 DateStr1: - Type: System.String - Value: %d/%M/yyyy (note: I am not using US culture) - Example: 1/11/2015
Filtering on date is working fine:
Initially, in excel, filtering on date was not working. But after changing dimensional type to time, and setting DataType to Date, as mentioned in [URL] filter is working fine as you can see in the picture.Grouping on date is not working:
I have hierarchy in my Date dimension and I can group based on hierarchy, no problem. But user is used to pre-build grouping function of excel, and he wants to use that. Pre-build functions of Excel, Group and ungroup seems to be available as you can see in following picture:
But when user clicks 'Group', excel groups it as if it is a string, and that is the problem. User wants to group using pre-build grouping function available in Pivot table. I also find out that Power Pivot Table does not support this excel grouping functionality. And if I understood well, this pre-build grouping functionality of excel, needs to do calculation at run time, and that is not viable solution if you have millions of rows. So Power pivot table does not support pre-build grouping functionality of excel and hence we need to use dimension hierarchy to do the grouping. But I am not using Power Pivot table, I am using simple Pivot Table. So I expect grouping functionality to be working fine. Then I tried to do simple test. I created a simple data source in excel itself. And use it as source of my Pivot table. Then grouping is working fine. The only difference that I can see is (When double click the Measure value in Excel),For date values of my simple test, excel consider them as 'Date'.
For date values of my data coming from cube, excel consider them as 'General'
2.1. But value here is same as it was in simple test.
2.2. 'Date Filter' works just fine.
2.3. If I just select this cell and unselect it, then excel change type to 'Date' though for that cell.
2.4. I have created 4 different types of fields in my date dimension thinking that values of attribute of my dimension might be the problem, but excel consider 'General' for all of them.
2.5 This value (that can be seen when double clicking on measure) comes from 'Name Column' of the attribute. And the DataType defined is WChar. And I thought that might be the reason of issue. And I changed it to 'Date'. But SSAS does not allow it to change to 'Date' giving error : The 'Date' data type is not allowed for the 'NameColumn' property; 'WChar' should be used.
So, I don't know, what is the puzzle piece that I am missing.
1. Date filter works, group does not work
2. Excel consider it as 'General' string.
3. SSAS does not allow to change 'NameColumn' to Date.
I have a table with 40k terms and I need to map these to a set of objects where each object is represented as a column(tinyint). The object/column name is represented as a guid and columns are added/removed dynamically to support new objects for a set of terms.
I think I need to then convert this set of rows to a table which I can join to the object runtime table to start these objects if the column has a count/sum greater than 0. This is the table I think I need in order to join on guids to the runtime table:
NAME Count =========== guid10 guid22 guid32 guid40 guid51
I don't know how to construct this table for the former table. I think it may be a pivot table, but I don't know. I have the column names:
SELECT NAME FROM SYSCOLUMNS WHERE ID = OBJECT_ID(#Temp) ORDER BY COLID
NAME is a sysname, which doesn't seem to cast into a guid, also a problem when joining the runtime table with this #Temp table.
I also don't want to use a cursor to construct a table.
I am workong on this Pivot select. At it is last part, I want to find a way to re-arrange the column order. Here is the test data:
if OBJECT_ID ('tempdb..#temp') is not null drop table #temp go create table #temp(b_date varchar(15), Gender varchar(5), Admin_date varchar(15), S_ID int, TEST_NAME varchar(5),SCHOOL_YEARvarchar(5), PART_DESCRIPTIONvarchar(15),Test_Score int)
[code]....
But the output requries the last couple columns to be SCHOOL_YEAR, TEST_NAME, i.e. they come after the scores.I thought the easiest way will be to select into #temp2, then extract from there. Even that, I couldn't get that to work with the select pivot.
I have a simple query showing customer net invoice value by month and work type. What I would like to do is to summarise the data so that for every customer I see the net invoice value for each work type for each month.
I would like to see this as: Group, Customer, Period and then the individual work types, of which there are always 8, as columns with the net invoice value under each of them. How can I accomplish this best? Sample code and results are below:
select [Group], [Customer], [Period], [Work_Type], Isnull([Invoiced],0) [Net] from vw_R_Damages
Group Customer Period Work_Type Net ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------------------- -------------------- --------------------- JARVIS CONTRACTING LIMITED JARVIS CONTRACTING LIMITED 2011-12 Breakdown / Call out 0.00 JARVIS CONTRACTING LIMITED JARVIS CONTRACTING LIMITED 2011-12 Breakdown / Call out 0.00 BARRATT BARRATT NORTHAMPTON 2011-12 Breakdown / Call out 0.00
I have a table the records the results of three different tests that are graded on a scale of 1-7. The table looks something like this. PersonId TestA TestB TestC
1 4 5 4 2 6 2 4 3 5 5 6 4 1 5 1
I would like to have a SQL statement that would pivot all this data into something like this
Test 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 A 1 0 0 1 1 1 0 B 0 1 0 0 3 0 0 C 1 0 0 2 0 1 0
Where the value for each number is a count of the number of people with that result.
The best solution that I have been able to come up with is to pivot each test and UNION ALL the results together. Is there a way to do this in a single statement?
(If this has already been covered I apologize, but I could not find the solution.)
I currently have a pivot table that is working great but I need to add to it. The below code is giving me the total ServiceTime per date, which is dynamic. I need to split this service time out depending on the stage of this note.
1) If the note has been signed 2) If the note has been signed and countersigned
SUM(CASE WHEN countersigned_id IS NULL AND signed_id IS NOT NULL THEN ISNULL(d.time_face, 0) + ISNULL(d.time_other, 0) ELSE 0 END) as PendingServiceTime,
SUM(CASE WHEN countersigned_id IS NOT NULL THEN ISNULL(d.time_face, 0) + ISNULL(d.time_other, 0) ELSE 0 END) as ApprovedServiceTime
How do I add this to my pivot table query? I am thinking that I need to have two seperate queries and join them together some how.
SELECT lastname + ', ' + firstname as FullName, [12/3/2007], [12/4/2007], [12/5/2007] FROM (SELECT p.LastName, p.FirstName, t.ServiceDate,
ISNULL(d.time_face, 0) + ISNULL(d.time_other, 0) AS ServiceTime
FROM dbo.allNotes(8) AS t LEFT JOIN dbo.note_Collateral_provider AS d ON d.note_Collateral_id = t.ID LEFT JOIN dbo.Personnel as p ON d.personnel_id = p.ID LEFT JOIN dbo.Clients as c on t.ClientID = c.ID LEFT JOIN fPayor(8) fp on fp.noteId = t.id and fp.dbTable = 'collateral' LEFT JOIN dbo.payor py ON py.ID = substring(fp.fPayorName, 41, 19) LEFT JOIN dbo.payorinfo pyInfo ON pyInfo.ID = py.payorinfoid WHERE t.AgencyID = 8 AND t.tableName = 'collateral' AND t.not_billable_reason_id IS NULL AND VOID_ID IS NULL AND ((t.signed_id IS NOT NULL AND t.countersigned_id IS NULL) OR (t.countersigned_id IS NOT NULL)) AND t.ServiceDate BETWEEN CONVERT(DATETIME, '12/03/2007') AND CONVERT(DATETIME, '12/05/2007') ) rs Pivot (SUM(rs.ServiceTime) FOR rs.ServiceDate IN ([12/3/2007], [12/4/2007], [12/5/2007]
I have a table which I would like to group on several columns, and for the Contract number, I'd like a maximum of four different columns which would contain pivoted information.
Here is my DDL:
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[SV00403]( [CUSTNMBR] [char](15) NOT NULL, [ADRSCODE] [char](15) NOT NULL, [Contract_Number] [char](11) NOT NULL, [WSCONTSQ] [int] NOT NULL,
I'm trying to write a query that puts the data present in the "Year" column as if they were in a row (column definitions)..making sums of pieces and values.. or.. to be more clear..
I have a query which returns the movements to and from our warehouse stock, as well as the current stock for each depot and how much is on order. What I need is a kind of pivot so that each item is shown just once, and then summarises the movements in 4 extra columns: Last 30 days, 30-60 days, 60-90 days and 90-120 days. How can I achieve this with my query below? A sample of some of the results is also shown.
I am trying to do a PIVOT on a query result, but the column names created by the PIVOT function are dynamic.
For example (modified from the SQL Server 2005 Books Online documentation on the PIVOT operator) :
SELECT Division, [2] AS CurrentPeriod, [1] AS PreviousPeriod FROM ( SELECT Period, Division, Sales_Amount FROM Sales.SalesOrderHeader WHERE ( Period = @period OR Period = @period - 1 ) ) p PIVOT ( SUM (Sales_Amount) FOR Period IN ( [2], [1] ) ) AS pvt
Let's assume that any value 2 is selected for the @period parameter, and returns the sales by division for periods 2 and 1 (2 minus 1).
Division CurrentPeriod PreviousPeriodA 400 3000 B 400 100 C 470 300 D 800 2500 E 1000 1900
What if the value @period were to be changed, to say period 4 and it should returns the sales for periods 4 and 3 for example, is there a way I can change to code above to still perform the PIVOT while dynamically accepting the period values 4 and 3, applying it to the columns names in the first SELECT statement and the FOR ... IN clause in the PIVOT statement ?
Need a way to represent the following [2] and [1] column names dynamically depending on the value in the @period parameter.
[2] AS CurrentPeriod, [1] AS PreviousPeriod
FOR Period IN ( [2], [1] )
I have tried to use the @period but it doesn't work.
I found this Microsoft article for creating crosstab-like queries in SSMS.Is it possible, however, to create this same query if I do not know what the values for the columns will be? Using their example for my problem, I will not know what the values in the "IN" criteria will be because my query would be for a "rolling" 12 months (thus causing that IN criteria to change every month).I've tried declaring variables to pull in the values, but since this will eventually go into a view, I don't think that I can use declared variables.
