  how to get Pivot result set using 3 tables

  Sep 01, 2020 04:54 PM|demoninside9|LINK

  Hello, Everyone,

  I have 3 tables in my database. tblAssets contains all assets, tbl_Projects contains all locations and tblLocationAssets contains the location and asset_id and asset quantity on that location.

  select asset_id, asset_name from tblAssets order by asset_id
  
  select asset_id, asset_name , location_id ,quantity from tblLocationAssets order by asset_id
  
  select Sno, Location from tbl_Projects order by Sno

  The output as below

  

  I want a result set like below i.e. All locations should come as columns (either the location contains any assets or not) and all assets come as rows (either any location contains that asset or not)

  		Varanasi	Dehri-On- Son	Garhshankar	Azamgarh
  1	Safety Instruction Board	2 (quantity)	0 (quantity)	2 (quantity)	1 (quantity)
  2	White Helmet	1 (quantity)	2 (quantity)	3 (quantity)	0 (quantity)
  3	Safety Shoes	3 (quantity)	5 (quantity)	4 (quantity)	7 (quantity)
  4	Radium Jacket Green	0 (quantity)	1 (quantity)	0 (quantity)	0 (quantity)

  Please suggest.

  Hi demoninside9,

  As far as I think,you need to join three tables and sum quantity.Just like this:

  Table Asset:

  

  Table Location:

  

  Table LocationAsset:

  

  Sql query:

  select *  from 
  (select a.asset_id, a.asset_name,b.Location,la.quantity
  from LocationAssets la  
  inner join Asset a on a.asset_id=la.asset_id 
  inner join Location b on b.Sno=la.Location_id) AS t
  PIVOT(
  Sum(quantity)
  for Location in( Varanasi,Dehri,Garhshankar,Azamgarh)
  ) AS Tab2 

  Result:

  

  Best regards,

  select *  from
  (select a.asset_id, a.asset_name,b.Location,la.quantity
  from LocationAssets la
  inner join Asset a on a.asset_id=la.asset_id
  inner join Location b on b.Sno=la.Location_id) AS t
  PIVOT(
  Sum(quantity)
  for Location in( Varanasi,Dehri,Garhshankar,Azamgarh)
  ) AS Tab2

  select *  from 
  (select a.asset_id, a.asset_name,b.Location,la.quantity
  from tblLocationAssets la  
  inner join tblAssets a on a.asset_id=la.asset_id 
  inner join tbl_Projects b on b.Sno=la.Location_id) AS t
  PIVOT(
  Sum(quantity)
  for Location in( Varanasi,Dehri,Garhshankar,Azamgarh)
  ) AS Tab2 

  There are 51 locations on my table. I need the result for all, either location has an asset or not. I think it should be dynamic.

  Currently, it shows error.

  Msg 8117, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
  Operand data type nvarchar is invalid for sum operator.

  Hi demoninside9,

  demoninside9

  Msg 8117, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
  Operand data type nvarchar is invalid for sum operator.

  The SUM() function returns the total sum of a numeric column.I have used int of quantity.You couldn't use nvarchar.

     --===== Local variables to hold the 3 different sections of Dynamic SQL.
  DECLARE  @SQL1 VARCHAR(MAX)  -- First part, which is static
          ,@SQL2 VARCHAR(MAX)  -- Second part, which is the dynamic column list of the CROSSTAB
          ,@SQL3 VARCHAR(MAX)  -- Third part, which is also static
  ;
  --===== First part, which is static
   SELECT @SQL1 = '
   WITH CTEAssets AS
  (
   SELECT asset_id, location_id, quantity = SUM(quantity)
     FROM dbo.tblLocationAssets
    GROUP BY asset_id, location_id
  )
   SELECT  Location = TP.location
  '
  ;
  --===== Second part, which is the dynamic column list of the CROSSTAB
   SELECT @SQL2 = ISNULL(@SQL2,'')+REPLACE(REPLACE('
           ,[<<asset_name>>] = SUM(CASE WHEN cteAsst.asset_id = <<asset_id>> THEN cteAsst.quantity ELSE 0 END)'
                  ,'<<asset_name>>',RTRIM([asset_name])) --This is where the other end of the 2 REPLACEs start
                  ,'<<asset_id>>',CONVERT(VARCHAR(10),asset_id))
     FROM dbo.tblAssets
    ORDER BY [asset_id] --This could cause a problem with building @SQL2 but I had no data to check with.
  ;
  --===== Third part, which is also static.
       -- Note that we don't need a join to the tbl_projects table because
       -- that's were we got the info from for the Dynamic SQL above.
   SELECT @SQL3 = '
      FROM      dbo.tbl_Projects TP
    LEFT JOIN CTEAssets      cteAsst ON TP.Sno = cteAsst.location_id 
    
  
    
      group by TP.Location , TP.Sno
  	order by TP.Sno DESC
  ;'
  ;
  --===== Combine the 3 parts of the Dynamic SQL and execute it all as a single query.
     exec (@SQL1+@SQL2+@SQL3)
  ;

  The above was the dynamic sql to achieve the requirement I shared. It is working perfectly.
