I have the following Data Structure in my Db which stores lots of different (dynamic) values based off a formsite import, I need to write a query which will return all possible combination of values so that I can use it in further data processing.
Table structure:
ID | CODE | VALUE |
---|---|---|
1 | A | z |
1 | B | y |
1 | A | x |
1 | C | w |
1 | B | v |
2 | A | x |
2 | B | y |
What I would like as an output is as follows:
Id | A | B | C |
---|---|---|---|
1 | z | y | w |
1 | x | y | w |
1 | z | v | w |
1 | x | v | w |
2 | x | y |
I have tried all types of Pivoting, RowNubers, Ranks but non seem to be giving me the exact output i need.
declare @table table (ID int, Code nvarchar(10), value nvarchar(30))
insert into @table(Id,Code,Value)
values
(1,N'A',N'z'),
(1,N'B',N'y'),
(1,N'A',N'x'),
(1,N'C',N'w'),
(1,N'B',N'v'),
(2,N'A',N'x'),
(2,N'B',N'y')
select * from @table
select
*
into #r1
from (
select
row_number() over(partition by id order by code) as RowNumberColumn ,
id,
code,
value
from @table
) as t
pivot (
max(value) for code in (A,B,C)
) as p
select * from #r1
select
*
from #r1 as p
join #r1 as c on p.ID = c.ID and p.RowNumberColumn <> c.ID
select
*
from #r1 as p
join #r1 as c on p.ID = c.ID and p.RowNumberColumn <> c.ID
select distinct
p.Id,
p.RowNumberColumn,
coalesce(c.a,p.a) as A,
coalesce(c.b,p.b) as B,
coalesce(c.c,p.c) as C
from #r1 as p, #r1 as c
where p.ID = c.ID
and (p.a <> c.a
or p.b <> c.b
or p.c <> c.c
)
drop table #r1t
There will be multiple Codes which can have multiple values associated to an ID. So hard coding a number of joins is not an option

You can achieve the desired output by first assigning row numbers to each row within each ID group, and then using conditional aggregation to pivot the data. Here's a query that accomplishes this:
WITH NumberedRows AS (
SELECT
*,
ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY ID ORDER BY (SELECT NULL)) AS RowNum
FROM
@table
),
PivotedData AS (
SELECT
ID,
MAX(CASE WHEN Code = 'A' THEN Value END) AS A,
MAX(CASE WHEN Code = 'B' THEN Value END) AS B,
MAX(CASE WHEN Code = 'C' THEN Value END) AS C
FROM
NumberedRows
GROUP BY
ID, RowNum
)
SELECT
ID,
A,
B,
C
FROM
PivotedData
ORDER BY
ID, RowNum;
In this query:
NumberedRows
CTE assigns a row number to each row within each ID group. This ensures that rows with the same ID are assigned consecutive row numbers starting from 1.PivotedData
CTE pivots the data using conditional aggregation to transform rows into columns based on theCode
column values.- Finally, the main query selects the ID and pivoted columns (A, B, C) from the
PivotedData
CTE, giving you the desired output.
