Hi,

Is there a way of having a variable as a column heading...e.g.

set @week = 'Week 1'

select 'x' as @week
from etc

Result:

Week 1
x

Thanks

Not without using Dynamic SQL. Try to avoid dynamic sql when possible.

declare @sql varchar(1000) -- or whatever length is appropriate

SET @sql = ' SELECT ''x'' as '+@week +
' from etc '

EXEC(@sql)
