Transpose of Result set

Hi,

One more way to do this in t-sql, this also use PIVOT. PIVOT syntax looks looks complex when you first start with it, but its a good way of doing cross  tab queries..

declare @PivotColumnNames nvarchar(max)
declare @dynamicSQL nvarchar(max) 
declare @rows int
select @rows = count(*) from customer

;  with  l0 as(select 1 as c   
                union all   
                select 1)  
,  l1 as(select 1 as c from l0 as a, l0 as b)  
,  l2 as (select 1 as c from l1 as a, l1 as b)  
,  l3 as (select 1 as c from l2 as a, l2 as b)  
,  l4 as (select 1 as c from l3 as a, l3 as b)  
,  l5 as(select 1 as c from l4 as a, l4 as b)  
,  nums as(select row_number() over(order by c) as n from l5)   
,  PivotColumnNames
    as
    (
        select 'r' + cast(n as nvarchar(10)) as rn 
        from nums 
        where n <=  @rows
    )        

select @PivotColumnNames = coalesce( @PivotColumnNames+',','') + quotename(rn,']')
from PivotColumnNames

select @dynamicSQL = 'select * from 
    (
        select a.* 
        from Customer c
        cross apply
        (
        select ''r''+ cast(ID as nvarchar(100)) ,''name'',name
        union all
        select ''r''+ cast(ID as nvarchar(100)),''class'',class
        union all
        select ''r''+ cast(ID as nvarchar(100)),''ID'',cast(ID as nvarchar(100))
        union all
        select ''r''+ cast(ID as nvarchar(100)),''Product'',Product
        ) a(id1,ColumnName,value)
    ) m
    pivot
    (
    min(value) for id1 in ( '+ @PivotColumnNames + ')
    ) p '

exec (@dynamicSQL)

Now, even you want to use column group, you need column in some form to create column group on it, you can use below query as dataset

    select a.* 
    from Customer c
    cross apply
    (
    select 'c'+ cast(ID as nvarchar(100)) ,'name',name
    union all
    select 'c'+ cast(ID as nvarchar(100)),'class',class
    union all
    select 'c'+ cast(ID as nvarchar(100)),'ID',cast(ID as nvarchar(100))
    union all
    select 'c'+ cast(ID as nvarchar(100)),'Product',Product
    ) a(id1,ColumnName,value)

Now, In report

1. Create column group on ID1

2. Create Row Group on ColumnName

3. Put Value in designer

4. Delete the details group (just delete group only)..
