I have below table:



------------------------------------------------------
| Id Code percentage name name1 activity |
-----------------------------------------------------
| 1 Prashant 43.43 James James_ Running |
| 1 Prashant 70.43 Sam Sam_ Cooking |
| 1 Prashant 90.34 Lisa Lisa_ Walking |
| 1 Prashant 0.00 James James_ Stealing |
| 1 Prashant 0.00 James James_ Lacking |
| 1 Prashant 73 Sam Sam_ Cooking 1 |
------------------------------------------------------


1) The problem is, due to MAX function it is ignoring 0.00 value with Column name Name1 of Lacking



2) Expected Result:



-------------------------------------------------------------------
Id Code James James_ Sam Sam_ Lisa Lisa_
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 Prashant Running 43.43 Cooking 3.43 Walking 90.34
1 Prashant Stealing 0.0 Cooking 1 73 NULL NULL
1 Prashant Lacking 0.0 NULL NULL NULL NULL
-------------------------------------------------------------------


The PIVOT Query what I tried:



DECLARE @DynamicPivotQuery NVARCHAR(MAX)

SET @DynamicPivotQuery = N'SELECT Id,Code,James,James_,Sam,Sam_,Lisa,Lisa_
INTO ##TempPivot
FROM A
PIVOT(MAX(activity)
FOR name IN (James,Sam,Lisa)) AS PVTTable PIVOT
(
MAX(percentage)
FOR name1 IN (James_,Sam_,Lisa_)) AS PVTTable1'


EXECUTE(@DynamicPivotQuery)

SELECT *
INTO #RESULT
FROM ##TempPivot


SELECT *
FROM #RESULT


Sample query to generate data:



CREATE TABLE A
(
Id NVARCHAR(10),
Code NVARCHAR(MAX),
percentage NVARCHAR(MAX),
name NVARCHAR(MAX),
name1 NVARCHAR(MAX),
activity NVARCHAR(MAX)
)


INSERT INTO A VALUES (1,'Prashant',43.43,'James','James_','Running')
INSERT INTO A VALUES (1,'Prashant',3.43,'Sam','Sam_','Cooking')
INSERT INTO A VALUES (1,'Prashant',90.34,'Lisa','Lisa_','Walking')
INSERT INTO A VALUES (1,'Prashant',0.00,'James','James_','Stealing')
INSERT INTO A VALUES (1,'Prashant',0.00,'James','James_','Lacking')
INSERT INTO A VALUES (1,'Prashant',73,'Sam','Sam_','Cooking 1')

If you add a ROW_NUMBER() into the mix, your pivot will be able to retain the association between activities and percentages.



;with cte as 
(
select *, ROW_NUMBER() over (partition by name order by percentage desc) ROWNUM
from A
),
cte2 as
(
SELECT Id,Code,ROWNUM,James,James_,Sam,Sam_,Lisa,Lisa_
FROM cte
PIVOT(MAX(activity)
FOR name IN (James,Sam,Lisa)) AS PVTTable PIVOT
(
MAX(percentage)
FOR name1 IN (James_,Sam_,Lisa_)) AS PVTTable1
)
select Id, Code, MAX(James) James, MAX(James_) James_, MAX(Sam) Sam, MAX(Sam_) Sam_, MAX(Lisa) Lisa, MAX(Lisa_) Lisa_
from cte2
group by Id, Code, ROWNUM


Returns:



Id  Code        James       James_  Sam         Sam_    Lisa    Lisa_
1 Prashant Running 43.43 Cooking 1 73 Walking 90.34
1 Prashant Stealing 0.00 Cooking 3.43 NULL NULL
1 Prashant Lacking 0.00 NULL NULL NULL NULL


The idea is, in thefirst common table expression, you transform the A table to this:



Id  Code        percentage  name    name1   activity    ROWNUM
1 Prashant 43.43 James James_ Running 1
1 Prashant 0.00 James James_ Stealing 2
1 Prashant 0.00 James James_ Lacking 3
1 Prashant 90.34 Lisa Lisa_ Walking 1
1 Prashant 73 Sam Sam_ Cooking 1 1
1 Prashant 3.43 Sam Sam_ Cooking 2


And throughout the remaining query, the ROWNUM column just acts to bind the percentage value to the activity.



Making it dynamic is easy once you have a working query. Just replace all the dynamic parts (in this case, comma-delimited lists of names, right?) with variables. Something like this:



declare @sql nvarchar(max)
declare @name_concat nvarchar(max)
declare @name1_concat nvarchar(max)
declare @select_aggs nvarchar(max)
select @name_concat = STUFF((select distinct ',' + quotename(name) from A order by 1 for xml path('')), 1, 1, '')
select @name1_concat = STUFF((select distinct ',' + quotename(name1) from A order by 1 for xml path('')), 1, 1, '')

;with cte_all_names as (
select name from A
union all
select name1 from A
)
select @select_aggs = STUFF((select distinct ',MAX(' + quotename(name) + ') ' + quotename(name) from cte_all_names order by 1 for xml path('')), 1, 1, '')

select @sql = '
;with cte as
(
select *, ROW_NUMBER() over (partition by name order by percentage desc) ROWNUM
from A
),
cte2 as
(
SELECT Id,Code,ROWNUM,' + @name_concat + ',' + @name1_concat + '
FROM cte
PIVOT(MAX(activity)
FOR name IN (' + @name_concat + ')) AS PVTTable PIVOT
(
MAX(percentage)
FOR name1 IN (' + @name1_concat + ')) AS PVTTable1
)
select Id, Code, ' + @select_aggs + '
from cte2
group by Id, Code, ROWNUM
'

exec sp_executesql @sql

(
MAX(percentage)
FOR name1 IN (James_,Sam_,Lisa_)) AS PVTTable1
)
select Id, Code, MAX(James) James, MAX(James_) James_, MAX(Sam) Sam, MAX(Sam_) Sam_, MAX(Lisa) Lisa, MAX(Lisa_) Lisa_
from cte2
group by Id, Code, ROWNUM


Returns:



Id  Code        James       James_  Sam         Sam_    Lisa    Lisa_
1 Prashant Running 43.43 Cooking 1 73 Walking 90.34
1 Prashant Stealing 0.00 Cooking 3.43 NULL NULL
1 Prashant Lacking 0.00 NULL NULL NULL NULL


The idea is, in thefirst common table expression, you transform the A table to this:



Id  Code        percentage  name    name1   activity    ROWNUM
1 Prashant 43.43 James James_ Running 1
1 Prashant 0.00 James James_ Stealing 2
1 Prashant 0.00 James James_ Lacking 3
1 Prashant 90.34 Lisa Lisa_ Walking 1
1 Prashant 73 Sam Sam_ Cooking 1 1
1 Prashant 3.43 Sam Sam_ Cooking 2


And throughout the remaining query, the ROWNUM column just acts to bind the percentage value to the activity.



Making it dynamic is easy once you have a working query. Just replace all the dynamic parts (in this case, comma-delimited lists of names, right?) with variables. Something like this:



declare @sql nvarchar(max)
declare @name_concat nvarchar(max)
declare @name1_concat nvarchar(max)
declare @select_aggs nvarchar(max)
select @name_concat = STUFF((select distinct ',' + quotename(name) from A order by 1 for xml path('')), 1, 1, '')
select @name1_concat = STUFF((select distinct ',' + quotename(name1) from A order by 1 for xml path('')), 1, 1, '')

;with cte_all_names as (
select name from A
union all
select name1 from A
)
select @select_aggs = STUFF((select distinct ',MAX(' + quotename(name) + ') ' + quotename(name) from cte_all_names order by 1 for xml path('')), 1, 1, '')

select @sql = '
;with cte as
(
select *, ROW_NUMBER() over (partition by name order by percentage desc) ROWNUM
from A
),
cte2 as
(
SELECT Id,Code,ROWNUM,' + @name_concat + ',' + @name1_concat + '
FROM cte
PIVOT(MAX(activity)
FOR name IN (' + @name_concat + ')) AS PVTTable PIVOT
(
MAX(percentage)
FOR name1 IN (' + @name1_concat + ')) AS PVTTable1
)
select Id, Code, ' + @select_aggs + '
from cte2
group by Id, Code, ROWNUM
'

exec sp_executesql @sql

  • worked like a charm, what about the dynamic query? That means I am using Dynamic Query and columns to pivot
