Question

I need to select some info from the DB, per day and per team. I want to see how many items were bought per day, for each team. For example, if there were 6 items bought in 2012-11-21, I want my results to show: team 1 bought 3 items, team 2 – 2 items and the last team 1 item. I can get the info for one team, using this:

select count(CONVERT(date, getdate())) as Team1
from items
where team = 1
group by CONVERT(date, getdate())

But I am not sure how can I get the info I need, for all the teams.

EDIT

I need the results to be something like this:

Date      |Team1   | Team2   | Team3  
2012-11-21|2 items | 3 items | 0 items 

And my table structure is something like this: Date, Product, Price, Team.

Answer 1

What you need here, is PIVOT your table like so:

SELECT 
  Date,
  SUM(CASE WHEN team = 'team1' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) 'team1',
  SUM(CASE WHEN team = 'team2' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) 'team2',
  SUM(CASE WHEN team = 'team3' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) 'team3'
FROM Tablename
GROUP BY date;
