Hello,
Not sure if there is any basic info you need to know...I'm running SQL Server 2008 Standard.
I need to create a query that has data from multiple columns (Columns 1-6 with coresponding Date started and Date Completed data) displayed vertically, but also has the column name the preeceeding column to identify it...along with other data (Record number, status).
Record Number, Status, Column Name, Date Started, DateCompleted 1, Open, Column 1, 1/1/2012, 2/1/2012, 2, Hold, Column 2, 1/3/2012, 3/1/2012, 1, Open, Column 3, 2/5/2012, 4/6/2012, 3, Closed, Column 4, 5/10/2012, 7/25/2012, 2, Hold, Column 5, 3/9/2012, 4/1/2012, 1, open, Column 6, 10/10/2012, 12/12/2012,
Please reply with any question you may have. Sorry, I did the best I could to describe what I need, the formating wasn't helping either. I went with CSV, if it helps.
As Always, any help would be greatly apprechated. Thank you, David92595 |

By Horizontal I mean Column 1 -6 would be normal columns in a table. I need to take a normal table
Column1,Column2,Column3,Column14,Column5,Column6, Date Started, DateCompleted Data, Data, Data, Data, Data, Data, Data, Data, Data, Data, Data, Data, Data, Data, Data, Data, Data, Data, Data, Data, Data, Data, Data, Data,
With data in each column and turn it into
Column Name,Date Started, Date Completed Column1,data, data, Column2,data, data, Column3,data, data, Column4,data, data, Column5,data, data, Column6,data, data,
Hope this helps explain thing a bit better, David92595 |
