Pivot Query Problem

The source table and Pivot query code are below. The query executes perfectly with 28 WrkCtr columns. However when I add data to the source table that requires the 29th I receive the following error. What would cause this error ? Is there a limit to the number of columns ?

Msg 105, Level 15, State 1, Line 3
Unclosed quotation mark after the character string '54  ---#54-Gardner Db'.
Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Line 3
Incorrect syntax near '54  ---#54-Gardner Db'.



The source for the pivot query is a table formatted as follows:
Item                         Qty                     Value             WrkCtr                                       Cycle
A_1000                    7000                    23000           1----100T Press                         .0030
A_1000                    7000                    23000            33---Large Grinder                  .0005
A_2000                     10000                 50000            1---100T Press                          .0020
A_2000                      10000                 50000            99--500T press                         .0009

The Pivot Query code is as follows:

Declare @sql As NVARCHAR(2000); Declare @col As NVARCHAR(2000);

Select @col = ISNULL(@col + ', ','') + QUOTENAME(WrkCtr)
From (Select Distinct WrkCtr From dbo.Item_WC) As Items;

Print @col

Set @sql =
N'Select ITEM,Qty,Vaue, ' + @col +
'From dbo.Item_WC
PIVOT (Min(Cycle)
For WrkCtr IN (' + @col + ')) As PivotTable';

Exec sp_executesql @sql;

There is no limit on the number of columns.
Can you print the @sql and post here?
Please find the fix below-

CREATE TABLE Item_WC
(	
	Item VARCHAR(100)                        
	,Qty INT                     
	,Value INT            
	,WrkCtr INT                                      
	,Cycle FLOAT
)
GO

INSERT INTO Item_WC VALUES
('A_1000',                    7000 ,                   23000    ,       1 ,                       .0030),
('A_1000',                    7000  ,                  23000     ,       33,                  .0005),
('A_2000',                     10000 ,                50000       ,     1,                          .0020),
('A_2000',                     10000  ,               50000        ,    1,                          .0020),
('A_2000',                      10000    ,             50000          ,  99,                         .0009)
GO


Declare @sql As NVARCHAR(2000); Declare @col As NVARCHAR(2000);

Select @col = ISNULL(@col + ', ','') + QUOTENAME(WrkCtr)
From (Select Distinct WrkCtr From dbo.Item_WC) As Items;

Set @sql =
N'Select ITEM,Qty,Value, ' + @col +
'From dbo.Item_WC
PIVOT (Min(Cycle)
For WrkCtr IN (' + @col + ')) As PivotTable';

PRINT @sql

EXEC SP_EXECUTESQL @sql;

Open in new window


Output

ITEM      Qty             Value      1               33              99
A_1000      7000      23000      0.003      0.0005      NULL
A_2000      10000      50000      0.002      NULL      0.0009

Pawan Kumar Khowal,

I do not see a difference between the code I posted and your fix. Am I missing something ?

Sharath,

Not sure what you are asking. Below the value of @sql from my code:

Select ID_ITEM,Qty,Value, [1   ---#1 - 21 1/2 AC 60T Press], [101 ---#101 -Vibratory Bowl (20 c.f.)], [12  ---#12 - 60T Automatic], [139 ---#139 - Shear LG], [156 ---#156 - Parts Washer(28'' Wide)], [157 ---#157 - Parts Washer(22''Wide)], [17  ---#17 - 21 1/2 AC 60T Press], [195 ---#195-Bruderer Roll Lvler], [2   ---#2 - 110T Clearing], [21  ---#21 - 150T Minister Press], [22  ---#22 - Keyence Ink Jet Printer], [237 ---#237 Vibratory Bowl (15 c.f.)], [26  ---#26 - 20B 32T Press], [28  ---#28 - 21 1/2 60T Press], [290 ---#290 - Horz 8'' Quench], [291 ---#291 - Vent 12'' Quench], [292 ---#292 - Horz 12'' Quench], [294 ---#294 - Horz 12'' Die Quench], [304 ---#304 - Horz 10'' Quench], [318 ---#318 - 250T Automatic], [319 ---#319 - 200T Aida], [32  ---#32 - 100T M-8 Press], [33  ---#33-Gardner Dbl Disc26''], [34  ---#34 Blanchard 42''], [343 ---#343 - 600T Verson], [346 ---#346 - 800T Verson], [446 ---#446 -VF3SS Vrt Mach Ctr], [54  ---#54-Gardner Dbl Disc30''], [96  ---#96 - 600T Bliss]From dbo.Item_WC

You query has a column name error, check this.

Copy of exact query:

Declare @sql As NVARCHAR(2000); Declare @col As NVARCHAR(2000);

Select @col = ISNULL(@col + ', ','') + QUOTENAME(WrkCtr)
From (Select Distinct WrkCtr From dbo.Item_WC) As Items;

Print @col

Set @sql =
N'Select ID_ITEM,Qty_Next12,Value_Next12, ' + @col +
'From dbo.Item_WC
PIVOT (Min(Sum_Std)
For WrkCtr IN (' + @col + ')) As PivotTable';


Exec sp_executesql @sql;

Thanks
Also the output of PRINT @sql;

Also I think you need to change , thats why you are not getting all columns

Declare @sql As NVARCHAR(MAX);
Declare @col As NVARCHAR(MAX);
