How to Pivot Your Data in T-SQL for SQL Server - Static and Dynamic Column Examples

Written By Sean MacKenzie Data Engineering on Friday, Dec 10, 2021 | 09:00 AM

 
In this episode, we're going to look at how to pivot your data in SQL Server T-SQL queries. Pivoting is a very useful way of transforming data, and one of the most effective ways to show summary data. First I'll show you how to do a pivot query with static columns, and then I'll show you a more advanced method that will allow you to have a dynamic display of an unknown number of columns. This tutorial will also introduce you to the STRING_AGG function, which simplifies the creation of a delimited list in SQL Server 2017+ and Azure SQL environments. Avoid hidden costs and complexity.
