Question

So I have the following date

ID       NAME       MONTH              COUNT

1        David      December2012       500

2        Rob        December2012       320

1        David      January2013        400

2        Rob        January2013        280

I am trying to make this…….

ID       Name       December2012       January2013

1        David      500                400

2        Rob        320                280

Where I get confused is how I want to keep two of the columns and just pivot the two other fields. Anyone know how I would do this.

Thank you so much for your help/time. I have never posted one of these, and responses are greatly appreciated!

Since you didn’t specify what RDBMS you are using, then you can do this:

SELECT
  ID,
  NAME,
  MAX(CASE WHEN MONTH = 'December2012' THEN "COUNT" END) AS "December2012",
  MAX(CASE WHEN MONTH = 'January2013'  THEN "COUNT" END) AS "January2013"
FROM Tablename
GROUP BY ID, Name;
