Hi guys

I have a table in which data of 3 locations is there in different rows, of a particular date. I am passing date as parameter in the stored procedure. The problem is when i fetch the data, it is displayed in 3 different rows but i want it in a single row. Can anyone help me on this?

Can you give table structure, example data and wanted output?

group on your date field and use like


SELECT DateField,
MAX(CASE WHEN location='1st location' THEN yourdata ELSE NULL END) AS 1stloc,
MAX(CASE WHEN location='2nd location' THEN yourdata ELSE NULL END) AS 2ndloc,
MAX(CASE WHEN location='3rd location' THEN yourdata ELSE NULL END) AS 3rdloc
FROM Table
WHERE Date=@Yourdate
GROUP BY datefield

Thanks a ton visakh16.

I got the required result. I guess i was using MAX at the wrong place i.e. (only for data) that is why it was asking me to include location in group by clause.

Cheers!
