Question

Here are my two queries

SELECT EWND.Position,
NKey = CASE WHEN ISNULL(Translation.Name, '') = '' THEN EWND.Name
ELSE  Translation.Name END, Unit = EW_N_DEF.Units                               
FROM EWND
INNER JOIN EW_N_DEF ON EW_N_DEF.Nutr_No = EWND.Nutr_No
LEFT JOIN Translation ON Translation.CodeMain = EWND.Nutr_no
WHERE Translation.CodeTrans  = 1
ORDER BY EWND.Position

And this is the unpivot one

SELECT * 
FROM 
   (SELECT N1,N2,N3,N4,N5,N6,N7,N8,N9,N10,N11,N12,N13,N14,N15,N16,N17,N18,N19,N20,N21,N22,N23,N24,N25,N26,N27,N28,N29,N30,N31,N32,N33,N34
   FROM EWNVal WHERE Code=6035) Test
UNPIVOT
   (Value FOR NUTCODE IN 
      (N1,N2,N3,N4,N5,N6,N7,N8,N9,N10,N11,N12,N13,N14,N15,N16,N17,N18,N19,N20,N21,N22,N23,N24,N25,N26,N27,N28,N29,N30,N31,N32,N33,N34)
)AS test

The output of the queries are like this:

  Position Name         Unit
    1   Calories    
    2   Protein g
    3   Total Fat           g
    4   Total Carbs         g
    5   Calories from Fat   
    6   Saturated Fat       g
    7   Trans Fat           g
    8   Monounsaturated Fat g
    9   Polyunsaturated Fat g   

And

Value Code
    0   N1
    0   N2
    0   N3
    0   N4
    0   N5
    0   N6
    0   N7
    0   N8
    0   N9

The output must be like this

1   Calories                0   N1
2   Protein             g   0   N2
3   Total Fat           g   0   N3
4   Total Carbs         g   0   N4
5   Calories from Fat       0   N5
6   Saturated Fat       g   0   N6
7   Trans Fat           g   0   N7
8   Monounsaturated Fat g   0   N8
9   Polyunsaturated Fat g   0   N9

Both Queries put out same number of rows but not columns, Is it possible to join this two? I tried the union but it has problems that I cant solve

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

If your data from the two queries is joinable based on the numeric portion of the Code and Position then you might be able to use something like this:

select q1.position,
  q1.name,
  q2.value,
  q2.code
from
(
  SELECT EWND.Position,
    NKey = CASE WHEN ISNULL(Translation.Name, '') = '' THEN EWND.Name
                ELSE  Translation.Name END, Unit = EW_N_DEF.Units                               
  FROM EWND
  INNER JOIN EW_N_DEF 
    ON EW_N_DEF.Nutr_No = EWND.Nutr_No
  LEFT JOIN Translation 
    ON Translation.CodeMain = EWND.Nutr_no
  WHERE Translation.CodeTrans  = 1
) q1
full outer join
(
  SELECT value, code
  FROM 
  (
     SELECT N1,N2,N3,N4,N5,N6,N7,N8,N9,N10,N11,N12,N13,N14,N15,N16,N17,N18,N19,N20,N21,N22,N23,N24,N25,N26,N27,N28,N29,N30,N31,N32,N33,N34
     FROM EWNVal 
     WHERE Code=6035
  ) Test
  UNPIVOT
  (
    Value FOR NUTCODE IN 
        (N1,N2,N3,N4,N5,N6,N7,N8,N9,N10,N11,N12,N13,N14,N15,N16,N17,N18,N19,N20,N21,N22,N23,N24,N25,N26,N27,N28,N29,N30,N31,N32,N33,N34)
  )AS test
) q2
  on q1.Position = right(q1.code, len(q1.code)-1)
