Given this data set: SummaryID Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 Q5 Q6 Q7 Q8 Q9

Given this data set:

SummaryID    Q1    Q2    Q3    Q4    Q5    Q6    Q7    Q8    Q9    Q10    Q11    Q12    Q13    Q14    Q15
25           1     2     3     4     5     6     7     6     5     4      3      2      1      2      3
25           1     2     3     4     5     6     7     6     5     4      3      2      1      2      3
25           1     2     3     4     5     6     7     6     5     4      3      2      1      2      3

can the data be PIVOTed or CUBEd or whatever into this:

      0   1   2   3   4   5   6   7
Q1        3      
Q2            3     
Q3                3    
Q4                    3   
Q5                        3  
Q6                            3 
Q7                                3
Q8                            3 
Q9                        3  
Q10                   3   
Q11               3
Q12           3  
Q13       3  
Q14           3 
Q15               3

Essentially, the top table represents how feedback data is stored for a feedback system. Multiple reviewers are asked to rate a single reviewee on a scale from 0 to 7 for 15 questions. My example is a rather unlikely set of responses from 3 reviewers in order to show the pattern in the display table

The second table is how I want to display the data. Each “3” in the table represents the COUNT of responses for the given Q# and Rating combination. E.g., for Q5, 3 reviewees rated this person a “5”.

Clearly, the real data will be much more scattered about.

I’m hoping this is easy.

Thanks,

John Anderson

EDITED: here is my own first attempt:

SELECT * FROM (SELECT SummaryID, COUNT(Q1) AS Q1 FROM SummaryData WHERe SummaryID = 25
GROUP BY SummaryID) o
PIVOT (COUNT(Q1) FOR Q1 IN ([0], [1],[2],[3],[4],[5],[6],[7])) p

SummaryID   0   1   2   3   4   5   6   7
25          0   0   0   1   0   0   0   0

I’m getting a 1 under the 3, which is not right, and I can’t figure out how to extrapolate the code to include all the other Qs.

Thanks again,

John Anderson

EDITED: here is a sample dataset that I modeled in Excel to give results that will more closely resemble reality

SummaryID   Q1   Q2   Q3   Q4   Q5   Q6   Q7   Q8   Q9   Q10   Q11   Q12   Q13   Q14   Q15
25          1    4    5    7    4    2    0    2    1    0     2     2     3     5     0
25          4    1    1    5    6    7    7    4    0    1     3     7     3     1     1
25          5    3    2    1    7    7    4    0    1    6     7     3     2     7     1

Results in:

    You have to UNPIVOT first to get data into a format you need, and then PIVOT

    Working sample:

    SET NOCOUNT ON

DECLARE @Feedback Table 
(
SummaryId INT,
Q01 INT,    Q02 INT,    Q03 INT,    Q04 INT,    Q05 INT,
Q06 INT,    Q07 INT,    Q08 INT,    Q09 INT,    Q10 INT,
Q11 INT,    Q12 INT,    Q13 INT,    Q14 INT,    Q15 INT
)

INSERT INTO @Feedback Values (25, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 2, 3)
INSERT INTO @Feedback Values (25, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 2, 3)
INSERT INTO @Feedback Values (25, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 2, 3)

;WITH ReOrderedData AS
(
SELECT SummaryId, QuestionNum, Score, COUNT (*) as NumScores FROM
(
    SELECT SummaryId, Q01, Q02, Q03, Q04, Q05, Q06, Q07, Q08, Q09, Q10, Q11, Q12, Q13, Q14, Q15
    FROM @Feedback
) p
UNPIVOT (Score For QuestionNum IN (Q01, Q02, Q03, Q04, Q05, Q06, Q07, Q08, Q09, Q10, Q11, Q12, Q13, Q14, Q15)) as UnPvt
GROUP BY SummaryId, QuestionNum, Score)
SELECT QuestionNum, 
    IsNull ([0], '') [0], IsNull ([1], '') [1], IsNull ([2], '') [2], IsNull ([3], '') [3], 
    IsNull ([4], '') [4], IsNull ([5], '') [5], IsNull ([6], '') [6], IsNull ([7], '') [7]
FROM (
SELECT QuestionNum, Score, NumScores
FROM ReOrderedData
) As SourceTable
PIVOT
(
Max (NumScores) For Score IN ([0], [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7])
) As Pivotx
