Nope PIVOT is available only from 2005 onwards

for 2000 you need to use


SELECT Dept,
SUM(CASE WHEN Type='a' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS [Type a],
SUM(CASE WHEN Type='b' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS [Type b],
SUM(CASE WHEN Type='c' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS [Type c]
FROM Table
GROUP BY Dept

Failing to plan is Planning to fail

OP is still on 2000
so i think this is what he should be using for dynamic crosstabbing
