Question

I have a table with columns UserID, SiteID, SiteViews and another with UserID, First, Last

And I need to display the data as First + Last, Site1Views, Site2Views

There are only 2 site IDs and I need to have the sum of the SiteViews per User.

Currently I have:

select s.UserFirstName + ' ' + s.UserLastName as 'Name', 
j1.SiteViews as 'Site1Name',
j2.SiteViews as 'Site2Name' 
from (Users s INNER JOIN Usage j on s.UserID = j.UserID)

I don’t know how to do this. Any help would be appreciated.

Sounds like you might want to use PIVOT for this? I can’t test it, but this should get you going int he right direction?

select s.UserFirstName + ' ' + s.UserLastName as Name, 
       [Site1Name],
       [Site2Name]
FROM
       (SELECT s.UserFirstName + ' ' + s.UserLastName,
               SiteName,
               SiteVisits
        from Users s 
        INNER JOIN Usage j1 
          on s.UserID = j1.UserID
       )
PIVOT (SUM(SiteVisits) FOR SiteName IN ([Site1Name],[Site2Name])) as p
