Hi every one,

Can any one please suggest me how to convert the columns into rows of a temporary rable..?

SQL

select convert( varchar(50), NewDate, 103 ) as 'NewDate',AuditTotal AS 'Total Audited' FROM @Months

--------

OUTPUT:

NewDate Total Audited

08/01/2011 0
08/02/2011 1
08/03/2011 2

But, I want to the result to be displayed as:

NewDate 08/01/2011 08/02/2011 08/03/2011

In SQLServer there is a thing called a Pivot Table[^] which is designed to do what you are trying to do.

I have not read all of your stored proc (rather a lot to read) and so do not know if it will fit your scenario.

Still, have a read and see if it is of use.

Hi,

Do you mean to convert the rows coming from the query:

select convert( varchar(50), NewDate, 103 ) as 'NewDate',AuditTotal AS 'Total Audited' FROM @Months

If that's the case, you could use UNION as long as the datatypes match, something like:

select convert( varchar(50), NewDate, 103 ) as 'NewDate' FROM @Months
UNION ALL
select AuditTotal AS 'Total Audited' FROM @Months

But frankly this doesn't make sense so perhaps I misunderstood your question.

yes, The for the same select query that u have noticed.. I tried what u posted. But its not working.. I think using 'pivot' can solve the problem.. But, I don't know about pivot

What do you mean by not working? Do you get an error (if so, where) or are the results wrong. If that's the case could you make an example for the original data and the result data you want.

You can find more about Pivot from for example: http://www.codeproject.com/KB/database/Pivot2Columns.aspx
