declare @sql nvarchar(max)
set @sql = 'select EID, Emp_name, [' + convert(nvarchar(2),day(getdate())) + '] as d from tableName '

  • You should surround the "day" column with square brackets, because it is a number, which is invalid column name and will select the number itself, not the contents of the column with this name. I.e. set @sql = 'select EID, Emp_name, [' + convert(nvarchar(2),day(getdate())) + '] as d from tableName'
