Hello Everyone,

Sorry, I accidentally replied to an old post instead of posting to a new one.

I'm very new to SQL, and I am trying to figure out how to pivot the following table:

date ID Y/N
2/1 1 Y
2/2 2 N
2/3 3 NULL
etc..

I want to keep the dates as rows, make the ID as columns, and the Y/N as the value.

I have a very large data set, and I want to use the ID numbers as the column names.

For example:

Date 1 2 3
2/1 Y NULL NULL
2/2 NULL N NULL
2/3 NULL NULL NULL

etc.

I would appreciate anyone's help on this matter.

Thank you.

select date,
max(case when ID =1 then [Y/N] ELSE NULL END) AS [1],
max(case when ID =2 then [Y/N] ELSE NULL END) AS [2],
max(case when ID =3 then [Y/N] ELSE NULL END) AS [3]
from table
group by date

Thank you for the fast reply!!

Is it possible to not have to use the ID numbers as the column names without retyping all of the order id numbers?

I have several thousand ids, and I want to keep the id numbers as they are.
