TSQL PIVOT MULTIPLE COLUMNS

Question

I have the following table but unsure of whether it is possible to pivot this and retain all the labels.

RATIO               RESULT   SCORE   GRADE Current Ratio       1.294    60      Good Gearing Ratio       0.3384   70      Good Performance Ratio   0.0427   50      Satisfactory TOTAL               NULL     180     Good 

I will admit to not being very good with the use of pivots, so after several attempts resulting in this output:

SELECT 'RESULT' AS 'Ratio'   ,[Current Ratio] AS 'Current Ratio'   ,[Gearing Ratio] AS 'Gearing Ratio'   ,[Performance Ratio] AS 'Performance Ratio'   ,[TOTAL] AS 'TOTAL' FROM (   SELECT RATIO, RESULT    FROM GRAND_TOTALS ) AS SREC PIVOT  (   MAX(RESULT)    FOR RATIO IN ([Current Ratio],[Gearing Ratio], [Performance Ratio], [TOTAL]) ) AS PVT 

This gives the result:

Ratio    Current Ratio   Gearing Ratio   Performance Ratio Result   1.294           0.3384          0.0427 

I will admit to be feeling very stumped on what to do next to produce the result I need which is:

Ratio    Current Ratio   Gearing Ratio   Performance Ratio   TOTAL Result   1.294           0.3384          0.0427              NULL Score    60              70              50                  180 Grade    Good            Good            Satisfactory        Good 

Answer 1

Since you want to pivot multiple columns of data, I would first suggest unpivoting the result, score and grade columns so you don't have multiple columns but you will have multiple rows.

Depending on your version of SQL Server you can use the UNPIVOT function or CROSS APPLY. The syntax to unpivot the data will be similar to:

select ratio, col, value from GRAND_TOTALS cross apply (   select 'result', cast(result as varchar(10)) union all   select 'score', cast(score as varchar(10)) union all   select 'grade', grade ) c(col, value) 

See SQL Fiddle with Demo. Once the data has been unpivoted, then you can apply the PIVOT function:

select ratio = col,   [current ratio], [gearing ratio], [performance ratio], total from (   select ratio, col, value   from GRAND_TOTALS   cross apply   (     select 'result', cast(result as varchar(10)) union all     select 'score', cast(score as varchar(10)) union all     select 'grade', grade   ) c(col, value) ) d pivot (   max(value)   for ratio in ([current ratio], [gearing ratio], [performance ratio], total) ) piv; 

See SQL Fiddle with Demo. This will give you the result:

|  RATIO | CURRENT RATIO | GEARING RATIO | PERFORMANCE RATIO |     TOTAL | |--------|---------------|---------------|-------------------|-----------| |  grade |          Good |          Good |      Satisfactory |      Good | | result |       1.29400 |       0.33840 |           0.04270 |    (null) | |  score |      60.00000 |      70.00000 |          50.00000 | 180.00000 |
