PIVOT not performing as expected.
- by Matt W
Sorry for an unclear question previously; hopefully I can start again...
I have this data:
entityid name stringvalue
----------- -------------------- --------------------
1 ShortDescription Coal
1 LongDescription BlackCoal
1 ShortDescription Gold
1 LongDescription WhiteGold
1 ShortDescription Steel
1 LongDescription StainlessSteel
And this query:
select *
from
(
select entityid, name, stringvalue as stringvalue
from mytable
) as d
pivot
(
min([stringvalue])
for [name] in ([ShortDescription],[LongDescription])
)
as p
Producing this output:
entityid ShortDescription LongDescription
-------- ---------------- ---------------
1 Coal BlackCoal
Could someone tell me why the other rows are not being produced, please? I was expecting to see:
entityid ShortDescription LongDescription
-------- ---------------- ---------------
1 Coal BlackCoal
1 Gold WhiteGold
1 Steel StainlessSteel
Thanks,
Matt
