Convert Access TRANSFORM/PIVOT query to SQL Server

Question

TRANSFORM Avg(CASE WHEN [temp].[sumUnits] > 0 
                   THEN [temp].[SumAvgRent] / [temp].[sumUnits] 
                   ELSE 0 
              END) AS Expr1
SELECT [temp].[Description]
  FROM [temp] 
GROUP BY [temp].[Description]
PIVOT [temp].[Period];

Need to convert this query for sql server

I have read all other posts but unable to convert this into the same

Answer 1

Here is the equivalent version using the PIVOT table operator:

SELECT *
FROM
(
  SELECT 
    CASE 
      WHEN sumUnits > 0 
      THEN SumAvgRent / sumUnits ELSE 0 
  END AS Expr1,
  Description,
  Period
  FROM temp
) t
PIVOT
(
  AVG(Expr1)
  FOR Period IN(Period1, Period2, Period3)
) p;

For instance, this will give you:

| DESCRIPTION | PERIOD1 | PERIOD2 | PERIOD3 |
---------------------------------------------
|          D1 |      10 |       0 |      20 |
|          D2 |     100 |    1000 |       0 |
|          D3 |      50 |      10 |       2 |

Note that When using the MS SQL Server PIVOT table operator, you have to enter the values for the pivoted column. However, IN MS Access, This was the work that TRANSFORM with PIVOT do, which is getting the values of the pivoted column dynamically. In this case you have to do this dynamically with the PIVOT operator, like so:

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

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



SET @query =  ' SELECT Description, ' + @cols + '
    FROM 
    (
      SELECT 
        CASE 
          WHEN sumUnits > 0 
          THEN SumAvgRent / sumUnits ELSE 0 
      END AS Expr1,
      Description,
      Period
      FROM temp
    ) t
    PIVOT
    (
      AVG(Expr1)
      FOR Period IN( ' + @cols + ') 
    ) p ';



Execute(@query);

This should give you the same result:

| DESCRIPTION | PERIOD1 | PERIOD2 | PERIOD3 |
---------------------------------------------
|          D1 |      10 |       0 |      20 |
|          D2 |     100 |    1000 |       0 |
|          D3 |      50 |      10 |       2 |

TRANSFORM SUM(s2+s1) 
SELECT PlanoContas.Conta AS Conta,
SPACE(LEN(PlanoContas.Conta)/2) + PlanoContas.Extenso AS Extenso,
PlanoContas.Tipo,SUM(s2+s1) AS [01/04/14] 
FROM PlanoContas 
INNER JOIN TEMP ON 
PlanoContas.Conta=LEFT(Temp.Conta,LEN(PlanoContas.Conta)) 
WHERE LEN(PlanoContas.Conta)<=16 AND (s1<>0 OR s2<>0) 
GROUP BY PlanoContas.Conta,Extenso,Tipo 
ORDER BY PlanoContas.Conta PIVOT Filial
