SQL Server dynamic PIVOT query?

2095

I've been tasked with coming up with a means of translating the following data:

date        category        amount
1/1/2012    ABC             1000.00
2/1/2012    DEF             500.00
2/1/2012    GHI             800.00
2/10/2012   DEF             700.00
3/1/2012    ABC             1100.00

into the following:

date        ABC             DEF             GHI
1/1/2012    1000.00
2/1/2012                    500.00
2/1/2012                                    800.00
2/10/2012                   700.00
3/1/2012    1100.00

The blank spots can be NULLs or blanks, either is fine, and the categories would need to be dynamic. Another possible caveat to this is that we'll be running the query in a limited capacity, which means temp tables are out. I've tried to research and have landed on PIVOT but as I've never used that before I really don't understand it, despite my best efforts to figure it out. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Dynamic SQL PIVOT:

create table temp
(
    date datetime,
    category varchar(3),
    amount money
)

insert into temp values ('1/1/2012', 'ABC', 1000.00)
insert into temp values ('2/1/2012', 'DEF', 500.00)
insert into temp values ('2/1/2012', 'GHI', 800.00)
insert into temp values ('2/10/2012', 'DEF', 700.00)
insert into temp values ('3/1/2012', 'ABC', 1100.00)


DECLARE @cols AS NVARCHAR(MAX),
    @query  AS NVARCHAR(MAX);

SET @cols = STUFF((SELECT distinct ',' + QUOTENAME(c.category) 
            FROM temp c
            FOR XML PATH(''), TYPE
            ).value('.', 'NVARCHAR(MAX)') 
        ,1,1,'')

set @query = 'SELECT date, ' + @cols + ' from 
            (
                select date
                    , amount
                    , category
                from temp
           ) x
            pivot 
            (
                 max(amount)
                for category in (' + @cols + ')
            ) p '


execute(@query)

drop table temp

Results:

Date                        ABC         DEF    GHI
2012-01-01 00:00:00.000     1000.00     NULL    NULL
2012-02-01 00:00:00.000     NULL        500.00  800.00
2012-02-10 00:00:00.000     NULL        700.00  NULL
2012-03-01 00:00:00.000     1100.00     NULL    NULL

There's my solution cleaning up the unnecesary null values

DECLARE @cols AS NVARCHAR(MAX),
@maxcols AS NVARCHAR(MAX),
@query  AS NVARCHAR(MAX)

select @cols = STUFF((SELECT ',' + QUOTENAME(CodigoFormaPago) 
                from PO_FormasPago
                order by CodigoFormaPago
        FOR XML PATH(''), TYPE
        ).value('.', 'NVARCHAR(MAX)') 
    ,1,1,'')

select @maxcols = STUFF((SELECT ',MAX(' + QUOTENAME(CodigoFormaPago) + ') as ' + QUOTENAME(CodigoFormaPago)
                from PO_FormasPago
                order by CodigoFormaPago
        FOR XML PATH(''), TYPE
        ).value('.', 'NVARCHAR(MAX)')
    ,1,1,'')

set @query = 'SELECT CodigoProducto, DenominacionProducto, ' + @maxcols + '
            FROM
            (
                SELECT 
                CodigoProducto, DenominacionProducto,
                ' + @cols + ' from 
                 (
                    SELECT 
                        p.CodigoProducto as CodigoProducto,
                        p.DenominacionProducto as DenominacionProducto,
                        fpp.CantidadCuotas as CantidadCuotas,
                        fpp.IdFormaPago as IdFormaPago,
                        fp.CodigoFormaPago as CodigoFormaPago
                    FROM
                        PR_Producto p
                        LEFT JOIN PR_FormasPagoProducto fpp
                            ON fpp.IdProducto = p.IdProducto
                        LEFT JOIN PO_FormasPago fp
                            ON fpp.IdFormaPago = fp.IdFormaPago
                ) xp
                pivot 
                (
                    MAX(CantidadCuotas)
                    for CodigoFormaPago in (' + @cols + ')
                ) p 
            )  xx 
            GROUP BY CodigoProducto, DenominacionProducto'

t @query;

execute(@query);
