| I'm not sure if I can do this.... I'm trying to change the column heading based on the value of another field.Something like this:SELECT Other AS 'Other (describe):' + [OtherText]FROM [TESTTABLE]The value of Other is "X"The value of OtherText is "Football"So the column heading would look like: "Other (describe): Football"The value would be "X"... I know there are much better ways of doing this, just we don't have the option of changing the table format.The Select statement would only ever return one single record. |

| you cant do this in t-sql unless you use dynamic sql. My guess is this for a reporting need and there are much easier ways to achieve this at your reporting tool end. For example SSRS supports writing expressions for column headers and I would highly recommend doing it at front end if at all possible.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------SQL Server MVPhttp://visakhm.blogspot.com/https://www.facebook.com/VmBlogs |
