Hi, I´m working with pivot to dinamically generate dimensional reports based on users choice. Unfortunately can´t solve this issue: here is the query:

===================================================

DECLARE @PivotCliPadres VARCHAR(50)

SELECT @PivotCliPadres =

COALESCE(

@PivotCliPadres + ',[' + cast(id_CliPadre as varchar) + ']',

'[' + cast(id_CliPadre as varchar)+ ']'

)

FROM dbo.sipDimensionPos

DECLARE @PivotTableSQL NVARCHAR(MAX)

SET @PivotTableSQL = N'

SELECT *

FROM (select codigo_item, item, round(net_price,1) as net_price, id_CliPadre, id_stock from dbo.sipFTdataStage INNER JOIN

dbo.sipDimensionPos ON dbo.sipFTdataStage.id_cliente = dbo.sipDimensionPos.id_cliente) tabla

pivot (

sum(net_price) for id_CliPadre IN (

' + @PivotCliPadres + '

)

) pivotable

,

EXECUTE(@PivotTableSQL)

=======================================

when executed I receive this message

"Msg 105, Level 15, State 1, Line 17

Unclosed quotation mark after the character string '

)

) pivotable

,

EXECUTE(@PivotTableSQL)

'.

Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Line 17

Incorrect syntax near '

)

) pivotable

,

EXECUTE(@PivotTableSQL)

'."

Any advice is well received, thanks in advance.

Change your EXECUTE to a PRINT and let's see what you get...

RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.
"Change is inevitable... change for the better is not".

Your character string - your query - is missing the closing quotation mark.

Thanks Chris, I have a "freshman" question. The stored procedure is generating a table variable. When adding the missing quotation mark I get the successfully executed command message. But when trying to get the data grid with the resolved data, I get lost. Before closing the execution plan I added a query to select * from @PivotTableSQL, but again don´t get the data grid, just a success message?

Thanks in advance

Jorge

Can you post the whole stored procedure Jorge?

Thanks Chris:

First of all maybe I´m wrong and this is not a stored procedure, is just the creation of a table variable. Here is what I´m doing: I´m queryng a fact table to generate a crosstab report, say PIVOT, where the user, a web user, selects two or three dimensions to query and get a customized report, say a datagrid deployed over user´s webbrowser.

--===== First create a table variable with the dinamically generated data

DECLARE @PivotCliPadres VARCHAR(50)

SELECT @PivotCliPadres =

COALESCE(

@PivotCliPadres + ',[' + cast(id_CliPadre as varchar) + ']',

'[' + cast(id_CliPadre as varchar)+ ']'

)

FROM dbo.sipDimensionPos

--=====

--=====Second create and execute the stored procedure? or just table variable?

DECLARE @PivotTableSQL NVARCHAR(MAX)

SET @PivotTableSQL = N'

SELECT *

FROM (select codigo_item, item, round(net_price,1) as net_price, id_CliPadre, id_stock from dbo.sipFTdataStage INNER JOIN

dbo.sipDimensionPos ON dbo.sipFTdataStage.id_cliente = dbo.sipDimensionPos.id_cliente) tabla

PIVOT (

sum(net_price) for id_CliPadre IN (

' + @PivotCliPadres + '

)

) pivotable

,

EXECUTE(@PivotTableSQL)

--=====

Does this query work? It looks like the closing quote is missing.

In most cases a stored procedure would be recommended - you can pass the necessary parameters and receive a result set.

Post what you have working.

Forget about the INSERT for the moment - does the pivot work yet?

Just the pivot code, using whatever values for the columns will work - and may be passed in later. Forget about EXECUTE for now. Just a plain old SELECT with a PIVOT in it. Have you got it to work? If so, post the code.

Yeha, like this one

--=====

SELECT *

FROM (select codigo_item, item, round(net_price,1) as net_price, id_CliPadre, id_stock from dbo.sipFTdataStage INNER JOIN

dbo.sipDimensionPos ON dbo.sipFTdataStage.id_cliente = dbo.sipDimensionPos.id_cliente) tabla

pivot (

sum(net_price) for id_CliPadre in ([130], [1652], [489])

) pivotable

--=====

it returns this data grid:

--=====

codigo_item item id_stock 130 1652 489
