    <p>I've read up on pivot in SQL and looked at tons of examples, but I just can't get this to work the way I'd like. I have a transaction history table that tracks employee purchases.</p> <p>Example:</p> <pre><code>Employee | Date | Value 1234 | 2012-11-13 | 20.23 </code></pre> <p>I need to create a summary for all employees with total sales for each month like this:</p> <pre><code>Employee | Jan | Feb | Mar | ... | Dec| YearTotal </code></pre> <p>I'm confused about grouping and getting the monthly totals. Thanks for any help!</p> <p>EDIT Okay, I apologize if I came across as unprepared to request assistance. I've been working on this most of the day, and was getting frustrated and tired. I've got over 10 years of experience with SQL, however this is the first time I've tried to do a pivot query and I'm just not getting my head around how they are supposed to work, and how to make it work for my needs. I need to produce these numbers for Monday morning, so in about 7 hours. My last ditch effort will be to run a seperate query for each month, then dump the data into excel for the report. I'd like this to be seamless for the end user to run in the future.</p> <p>Here's a simplified version of my attempt that was reworked from a sample from MSDN:</p> <pre><code>SELECT CUSTOMER_NUMBER, [jan], [feb] FROM ( SELECT month(transaction_date) FROM customer_item_purchases WHERE TRANSACTION_DATE BETWEEN '2011-11-16' AND '2012-11-15' ) PIVOT (SUM(SALES_VALUE) IN ([JAN], [Feb])) AS pvt </code></pre> <p>I need total monthly sales for each month between the dates specified. Nov will show up at the beginning and end of the month columns. The source table is simple: Employee, transdate, receipt, location, etc.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
