Hey Everyone,

So I have a table that has data which looks like this:
(Example, the '---' are used to space the columns out)
ID--------Product--------Price
User 1----KitKat-------- 1.00
User 1----Hersheys-------2.00
User 2----KitKat-------- 1.00
User 3----Nestle-------- 2.50
User 1----Cadbury--------1.50
User 3----Hersheys-------2.50
User 2----Nestle-------- 0.50
User 2----Cadbury--------3.00
User 3----Nestle-------- 2.50
User 3----KitKat-------- 4.00

And I need to pivot it so that it looks like this:

Product-------User 1-------User 2-------User 3
KitKat--------$1.00--------$1.00--------$4.00
Hersheys------$2.00--------$1.00--------$2.50
Cadbury-------$1.50--------$3.00--------$1.00
Nestle--------$1.00--------$0.50--------$2.50

Any ideas on how I can go about this?

Thanks

[code]
SELECT *
FROM Table t
PIVOT (SUM(Price) FOR ID IN ([User 1],[User 2],[User 3]))p
[/code]

The User 1, User 2, User 3 part is dynamic, so I can't have it set with column names. It doesn't have to be a column name, it can be part of the dataset as long as the result looks like what's shown in the original post.

Thanks!

you can make it dynamic as below


DECLARE @UserList varchar(5000),@SQL varchar(max)

SET @UserList = STUFF((SELECT DISTINCT ',['+ ID + ']' FROM Table FOR XML PATH('') ),1,1,'')

SET @SQL ='SELECT *
FROM Table t
PIVOT (SUM(Price) FOR ID IN (' + @UserList + '))p'

EXEC(@SQL)
