simple and tricky question

  • Hi,

    i need help on this

    i have a table called tableA

    WHICH HAS VALUES AS FOLLOWS

    COLUMN A COLUMN B

    7464350012645.35

    7464350014190.94

    What i need INSTEAD is to get results as follows in a new table B as follows

    COLUMN A COLUMN B COLUMN C

    7464350012645.35 4190.94

  • This could be as easy as a simple pivot or a more complex dynamic pivot. Based on your data provided, it is a little difficult to know for sure. Are all entries like the sample, 2 rows for a given "account id" or could there be entries that contain more than 2 rows that need to be pivoted to a single row?

  • All entries will be the same as sample

  • Just to be sure, as this is posted in a SQL Server 2005 forum (we have had SQL Server 2000 posts here), that you are using SQL Server 2005. I should have asked in my previous post.

  • iam using 2005.can you help me on this?

  • You will have to test the following code as I am currently applying SP3 to my system here at home.

    ;with MyData (

    rownum,

    colA,

    colB

    ) as (

    select

    row_number() over (partition by colA order by colA),

    colA,

    colB

    from

    tableA

    )

    insert into tableB (columnA, columnB, columnC)

    select

    colA,

    max(case when rownum = 1 then colB else null end),

    max(case when rownum = 2 then colB else null end)

    from

    MyData

    group by

    colA;

    Let me know if this works.
