Question

I have to insert the output of this code into an already existing table. How can I achieve this? I did it, but the output is getting appended to the previous result of the table.

Code:

DECLARE @KPI_BU TABLE (BU NVARCHAR(MAX)) 

INSERT @KPI_BU 
SELECT @BU 

Declare @KTV table(Business_Unit nvarchar(max), KPI nvarchar(max),YTD_Plan money, Actual money, Deviation money, Year_Plan money )

DECLARE BU_cursor CURSOR FAST_FORWARD FOR 
SELECT BU FROM @KPI_BU 

OPEN BU_cursor 
FETCH NEXT FROM BU_cursor INTO @BU 

WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0 
BEGIN 
INSERT @KTV(Business_Unit, KPI, YTD_Plan, Actual, Deviation, Year_Plan) 
EXEC dbo.SP_KPI_History @FiscalYear, @BU 

FETCH NEXT FROM BU_cursor INTO @BU 
END 

CLOSE BU_cursor 
DEALLOCATE BU_cursor 

--SELECT * FROM @KTV

And if I provide

SELECT * 
into KPI_History
FROM @KTV

in place of the commented line it creates a new table and inserts the result into it. I want to insert the RESULT into already existing table.

Update

@Mikael;

I don’t know whether i was able to make u understand my question or not. Sorry for that.

What i want is, Now i have two table with this columns:

KPI_History with(Businessunit,KPI_Name,YTD,Actual,Deviation,..)

KPI_codes with (KPI_Name, KPI_code)

In KPI_history table i want to use the KPI_Code of KPI_Codes table instead of KPI_name of KPI_History table. As KPI_Names are too long strings and i have created short codes for the KPI_Names and valued them into KPI_Code. i.e. KPI_code table consist of the KPI names and the codes for the KPI_Names.

So output should be:
KPI_Table with (Businessunit,KPI_Name[It sholud contain codes from KPI_History table],YTD,etc.)

Hope i was able to make you guys understand what i am asking for. 😐

I want to insert the RESULT into already existing table.

Here is how you insert into an existing table:

insert into KPI_History (Business_Unit, KPI, YTD_Plan, Actual, Deviation, Year_Plan)
select Business_Unit, KPI, YTD_Plan, Actual, Deviation, Year_Plan
from @KTV;

but the output is getting appended to the previous result of the
table.

So you don’t want the result to be added to KPI_History? Then I guess you just have to delete the rows in KPI_History before inserting.

delete from KPI_History;

insert into KPI_History (Business_Unit, KPI, YTD_Plan, Actual, Deviation, Year_Plan)
select Business_Unit, KPI, YTD_Plan, Actual, Deviation, Year_Plan
from @KTV;

Update:

If you need information from another table in the insert you can just join to that table.
Something like this might work for you.

insert into KPI_History
  (Business_Unit,
   KPI,
   YTD_Plan,
   Actual,
   Deviation,
   Year_Plan, 
   Code)
select K.Business_Unit,
       K.KPI, 
       K.YTD_Plan,
       K.Actual,
       K.Deviation,
       K.Year_Plan,
       C.Code
from @KTV as K
  inner join KPI_Code as C
    on K.KPI = C.KPI;
