please check what i try to write as per your suggestion i try the pivot table. this is what i try now. if i give the location name directly its returns report, but my case lacation table is master so it will change,i cannot hard type the names. please check the query what i did the wrong here in this.
Select BrandName,Location
From
(
Select BrandName,Location,SLID From Sales) as BaseTable
Pivot
(
Count(SLID) For Location in (Select Name from MasterLocation)
) as PivotTable

In my article you will read that you have to create a string of fieldnames to use with the PIVOT command. It cannot be done in a select statement. That returns data, not columnnames (that is stored in mastertables and not delimited with a , when selected. Therefore the middlequery in my article.
