I've seen several posts that begin to address this problem, but have
not found a simple, elegant solution that will accomplish this goal.
The important part of this solution is that it must be completely
dynamic - I have over 40 different categories of devices, each with
different fields, and each search will return only one category. I
have no knowledge of the number or datatype of these field names
beforehand and must use the sp to dynamically create the table and then
transpose the data.
Here is an example
I have normalized data in this format (this is a simplification)
deviceId fieldName fieldValue
1 color red
1 shape square
1 weight(kg) 2.0
2 shape round
2 weight(kg) 1.5
3 color blue
3 shape oval
3 weight(kg) 1.0
I would like to convert this to the format: (note that it must handle
nulls - deviceId 2)
deviceId color shape weight(kg)
1 red square 2.0
2 round 1.5
3 blue oval 1.0
Anyone with any thoughts on how best to accomplish this?
I have a table with 3 columns (ID Int , Name Varchar(25), Course Varchar(20))
My source data looks like below
ID     Name       Course 1       A              Java 1       A              C++ 2       B               Java 2       B              SQL Server 2       B               .Net 2       B                SAP 3       C                Oracle
My Output should look like below...
ID     Name      Course(1)    Course(2)        Course(3)    Course(4) Â
1       A                Java           C++ 2       B                Java           SQL Server .Net            SAP 3       C                Oracle
Basically need t-sql to Convert non fixed rows to non fixed columns...
Rule: IF each ID and Name have more than 1 course then show it in new columns as course(1) course(2)..Course(n)
Create SQL:
Create table Sample (ID Int null , Name Varchar(25) null, Course Varchar(20) null)
Insert SQL:
INSERT Sample (ID, Name, Course) Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â VALUES (1,'A','Java'), Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â (1,'A','C++'), Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â (2,'B','Java'), Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â (2,'B','SQL Server'), Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â (2,'B','.Net'), Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â (2,'B','SAP'), Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â (3,'C','Oracle')
I have a report that displays data based on the last 12 months. Is there a way I can order the columns (header and data) based on the month it was run. eg. If I were to run the report in March, I want the columns to be ordered like this:
MAR, APR, MAY, JUN, JUL, AUG, SEP, OCT, NOV, DEC, JAN, FEB
If run the report in April, I want the columns to be ordered like this:
APR, MAY, JUN, JUL, AUG, SEP, OCT, NOV, DEC, JAN, FEB, MAR
So, the columns in the report are always ordered (12 months backward) based on the month it was run.
SELECT a.FIRMA, a.PSNR, a.FELDNR, a.PFLFDNR, a.INHALT AS Cardnr, a.PFGLTAB,
[Code] .....
But it deliver me also rows which are not in valid. I need only rows from last month from 01.10 until 31.10 and this rows are over the time. How can i select dynamically all row between 01.10 and 31.10 ?
Hello, I have a survey (30 questions) application in a SQL server db. The application uses several relational tables. The results are arranged so that each answer is on a seperate row: user1 answer1user1 answer2user1 answer3user2 answer1user2 answer2user2 answer3 For statistical analysis I need to transfer the results to an Excel spreadsheet (for later use in SPSS). In the spreadsheet I need the results to appear so that each user will be on a single row with all of that user's answers on that single row (A column for each answer): user1 answer1 answer2 answer3user2 answer1 answer2 answer3 How can this be done? How can all answers of a user appear on a single row Thanx,Danny.
Hello all, I was wondering if anyone knew of a way to dynamically delete all of the values for a group of columns. What I mean by this is that lets say a table (TableA) has five fields (Field1, Field2, Field3, Field4, and Field5) with 100 rows of data. I want to delete all of the data in Field1, Field2, and Field4. I do not want to delete any of the data in Field3 and Field5. I would then end up with a table with 5 fields and 100 row, but only 2 fields (Field3 and Field5) have data.
The catch is that I can't hardcode the field names of the fields I want to clear out (Field1, Field2, and Field4) into the SQL. This is because if any new fields are eventually added to the table I want them to be cleared out as well without modifying the SQL.
I can hardcode the field names of the fields that I want to keep values for (Field3 and Field5) in the SQL.
If anyone has any idea how to do this, I would greatly appreciate it.
Table BSadIt contains the same fields as in table A and will have sequence number in which the concatenation should happen. The length field(LEN) will have corresponding field lengths(pipe delimited) should be considered in concatenation)
Note: If the field length given in Table B doesn't match with actual size of the fields then, the field should be filled with 2 left spaces while concatenation.. Eg. In above example say LIFNR value = 88390234(len =icon_cool.gif
then after concat the value should be like below:
12345678904355325363a234 88390234
Note:The fields are not constant..I have around 40 fields like that in which any combination of fields can be possible...eg..
I am not sure which field has the value 1, 2 etc.. and how many fields are forming the combination..It can be sometimes 3/40 fields or it can be 10/40 fields...I have to dynamically get those values and concat...
I can have any number of fields for concatenation..above example is just for 4...it should be dynamic enough to handle any number of fields..
I am wondering if someone has some experience with hiding columns in a Matrix report. I have got two details columns: "Yr to Yr Credits Growth€? and "Yr to Yr Credits Growth %" and those two columns return only one value "N/A" for the earliest year since there is nothing to compare to. Thus, I don't really need them for the earliest year. On top of detail columns, I have got three matrix groups: matrix1-Year, matrix1-Quarter and matrix-Date. Once those two detail columns are hidden, I would like obviously resize (shrink) those three matrix groups columns to reflect the fact that the detail columns were hidden.
Hi, I have a sproc that returns somevalues and everything is working fine... and in my reports i am assigning the header data (in a detail column) based on the some feilds in the sproc... and there around 20 feilds that i want to show... but at a given time i am pretty sure that there wont be more than 10 fields that will have data.
So is it possible that show only the columns that have data in it and sometimes if there is less that 5 - 6 fields.. i want to realign the widths in those tables..
;WITH ctePreAgg AS ( select top 500 act_reference "ActivityRef", row_number() over (partition by act_reference order by act_reference) as rowno, t3.s_initials "Initials" from mytablestuff order by act_reference
[code]...
But what I would love to do next is take each of the above rows - and return the initials either in one column with all the nulls and duplicate values removed, separated by a comma ..
OR the above but using variable number of columns based on the maximum number of different initials for each row.this is not strictly required, but maybe neater for further work on the view
I have a report which is a list of items and I display everything about the item. It is great. My report table in the layout tab is simple. Header,Detail,Footer. Each Item has 65 columns. The number of items (rows) vary upon what you want to see. Example data. Item#, Description, CaseSalePrice, Cost, BottleSalePrice, Discount 123, Grenadine, 100.00, 75.00, 15.50, 2.00 456, Lime Juice, 120.00, 81.00, 17.25, 2.00
What I am actually doing is running this the top example and saving to excel. Then copying the sheet. Creating a new sheet then doing a paste special transpose and this gives the users what they want to see.
I want to grab that table object in the report layout tab and twist it 90degrees so the header is on the left, detail is in the middle and the footer is on the right. It would be perfect.
The dynamic column need is really the problem here. I never know how many items will be in the report. They all have the same basic information like description and pricing.
I am all out of creative ideas, any help would be appreciated.
I'm using the row sampling Transform to perform an A/B split on some data.
Is there anyway that I can dynamically populate the number of rows box ?
I currenlty have to find out the count, then divide it by 2 and manually enter this in to the box. It would be nice if there was a property associated with this that so that I could populate a variable with a count from a SQL query then associate this with the box using an expression.
Has anyone have any ideas how I can do this?
Also is there any other way of getting an A/B split of my data using SSIS or taking it one step further getting an A/B/C split..
I have an OLEDB source that uses a stored procedure which pivots records and returns me data with columns which are dynamic (Changing every time). How can I export this data with dynamic number of columns to excel destination?
In my EventHandler "cmdStop_Click" I am trying to perform some action but on that particular row's data.
My page is also reloading after every 5 secs.
After clicking a button in a row, when page refreshes, I am getting this message in popup error message. also that entry is ommited(as per code in EventHandler)
I have a requirement where in I have to concatenate the fields based on their sequence given in another table along with respect to their lengths. eg..
Input 1:
Table A: (below are the fields and their respective values, not all fields will have values) ----------- KSCHL - ZIC0 (KEY) KOTABNR - 521 (KEY) MATNR KUNNR-->1234567890 LIFNR VKORG-->a234 PRCTR KUNRE-->4355325363 LIFRE-->88390234 PRODH
Table BIt contains the same fields as in table A and will have sequence number in which the concatenation should happen. The length field(LEN) will have corresponding field lengths(pipe delimited) should be considered in concatenation)
Note: If the field length given in Table B doesn't match with actual size of the fields then, the field should be filled with 2 left spaces while concatenation.. Eg. In above example say LIFNR value = 88390234(len =icon_cool.gif then after concat the value should be like below:

I have SSRS report that has around 80+ columns. I have requirement where in dynamically hideshow columns in report based on user selection. I could able to do it by setting expression for "Visiblity" property and having report parameter thro' which columns to display can be choosen.
My problem is 2 points
1. fox example if columns 2 and 4 to be hidden, then there is an empty column between 1 and 3 and 5 columns. How to avoid this
2. When i export to PDF / Excel these spaces prevail.
I have a scenario where we have to handle dynamically changing source columns.
For example , some times in the source files the number of columns will be increased or decreased, new columns can be added in the middle or in the end of the source file.
I have created some dynamic sql to check a temporary table that is created on the fly for any columns that do contain data. If they do the column name is added to a dynamic sql, if not they are excluded. This looks like:
If (select sum(Case when [Sat] is null then 0 else 1 end) from #TABLE) >= 1 begin set @OIL_BULK = @OIL_BULK + '[Sat]' +',' END However, I am currently running this on over 230 columns and large tables 1.3 mil rows and it is quite slow. How I can dynamically create a sql script that only selects the columns in the table where there is data in a speedier manner. Unfortunately it has to be on the fly because the temporary table is created on the fly.
I've created a SSIS package which takes a matrix from Excel file and insert into SQL table. It works perfectly! However, if I would add a new column into that matrix in Excel. Unpivot tool should take into process dynamically. Is there a way to provide this automatically?Â
I need to generate a csv file from another csv file, seems to be simple but let's go the trick thing:
Needs to have maximum 1000 lines, if I reach to this, I need to create another csv and fill that new one.
Exemplifying:
I have a csv file called fileA and this has 2000 lines and another csv called fileB with 1500 lines.
I need to loop a folder and get the fileA, create an output called FileAOutput and start to fill that, if I reach to 1000 lines, I need to create a FileAOutput_2 and fill the other 1000 lines...so I'll go to fileB and do the same thing, but in the second case, I'll have 500 lines in the second output.
 I have a situation where I want to load the Excel file dynamically, and the excel file have different columns or even worksheet name. How I could approach this? I believe there's no way to modify the meta data (specifically the mapping) in the data flow.
As you can see, the above table has cumulative data. 1. It calculates the number of Products submitted till a particular date- weekly 2. The date columns should increase dynamically(if the dates in base table increases) each time the query is executed For ex: the next date would be 11/28/2007 I tried something like, it gives me count of €˜b€™ level and €˜p€™ level products by week declare @date1 as datetime select @date1 = '6/30/2007' while (@date1 != (select max(SDate) from dbo.TrendTable)) begin set @date1 = @date1 + 7 select Level, count(Products) from dbo.TrendTable where SDate < @date1 group by Level end what I think is required is a pivot that dynamically adds the columns for increase in date range. /Pls suggest if any other way of achieving it. Pls help!!!
For each customer, I want to add all of their telephone numbers to a different column. That is, multiple columns (depending on the number of telephone numbers) for each customer/row. How can I achieve that?
I want my output to be
CUSTOMER ID, FIRST NAME, LAST NAME, TEL1, TEL2, TEL3, ... etc
Each 'Tel' will relate to a one or more records in the PHONES table that is linked back to the customer.
hi,I'm building a multi-lingual website In my database tables I have, in some of them, a column with the Language, because some of the columns depend on what language the user wants to see the site.My question is: what is better? have that column and consequently two row (for two languages) with repeated column information? or have two column within a row with the language specification?e.g. table: id, description, price(1) With language:id,description, price, language='EX' id,description, price, language='EN' vs.(2) id, descriptionEN,descriptionEX,price if I have 500 products in 1 whould result in 1000 entriesin 2 just 500 results can anyone tell me a diference/advantage between the two approachs?thanks in advance.
I am building a calendar table for the most reason four weeks activitis and I have had a temp table data in table A (See my attached file) and I want to make it as the format in table B as final. How to convert it? Please help!
We have around 20 different team names , and every team enters data into the database every day, and we have around 7 Different STATUSNAME they are always the same , the STATUSLEVEL is always a 1 or a 0 , so TEAMA enters a value every day for each of the 7 STATUSNAME, and the value is either a 1 or a 0 .
The output for a Select * from ISCMetricslooks like this
What i am trying to achieve is this, i want the teams in one column then a column for each of the dates , and then sum of the STATUSLEVEL in each row as shown below for the day and team .....
hello all, i am trying to create a view from a table that will keep track of the time between each stage of tasks given. take a look at the data below:
i would like to be able to have just one row per task ID showing the difference between the stages, as shown below . only the 2nd column is a date, the rest are are hours (datediff) between the stage and its preceeding stage :
I am trying to write a query that will return the columns: year/ month, each status type (unknown how many types there are)
Each row is a different join year/ month
Each cell has the count of users that joined in that rows year/ month and currently have the status of the column.
At the moment I have the following query:
SELECT [remortgage-status].status, COUNT(1) AS CountTotal, YEAR([remortgage-log].datetime) AS Year, MONTH([remortgage-log].datetime) AS month FROM [remortgage-status] INNER JOIN [remortgage-log] ON [remortgage-status].clientid = [remortgage-log].clientid WHERE ([remortgage-log].action = N'Joined') GROUP BY [remortgage-status].status, YEAR([remortgage-log].datetime), MONTH([remortgage-log].datetime)
The problem is that each different status is a new row rather than each status being a column.
What do I need to do to correct this? - I dont know all the different possible statuses at this point
