    <p>I wish to write a Query for SAP B1 (t-sql) that will list all Income and Expenses Items by total and month by month.</p> <p>I have successfully written a Query using PIVOT, but I do not want the column headings to be hardcoded like: Jan-11, Feb-11, Mar-11 ... Dec-11.</p> <p>Rather I want the column headings to be parametrically generated, so that if I input:</p> <pre> -------------------------------------- Query - Selection Criteria -------------------------------------- Posting Date greater or equal 01.09.10 Posting Date smaller or equal 31.08.11 [OK] [Cancel] </pre> <p>the Query will generate the following columns:</p> <p>Sep-10, Oct-10, Nov-10, ..... Aug-11</p> <p>I guess DYNAMIC PIVOT can do the trick. So, I modified one SQL obtained from another forum to suit my purpose, but it does not work. The error message I get is <code>Incorrect Syntax near 20100901</code>.</p> <p>Could anybody help me locate my error?</p> <p>Note: In SAP B1, '[%1]' is an input variable</p> <p>Here's my query:</p> <pre><code>/*Section 1*/ DECLARE @listCol VARCHAR(2000) DECLARE @query VARCHAR(4000) ------------------------------------- /*Section 2*/ SELECT @listCol = STUFF( ( SELECT DISTINCT '],[' + CONVERT(VARCHAR, MONTH(T0.RefDate), 102) FROM JDT1 FOR XML PATH('')) , 1, 2, '') + ']' ------------------------------------ /*Section 3*/ SET @query = ' SELECT * FROM ( SELECT T0.Account, T1.GroupMask, T1.AcctName, MONTH(T0.RefDate) as [Month], (T0.Debit - T0.Credit) as [Amount] FROM dbo.JDT1 T0 JOIN dbo.OACT T1 ON T0.Account = T1.AcctCode WHERE T1.GroupMask IN (4,5,6,7) AND T0.[Refdate] &gt;= '[%1]' AND T0.[Refdate] &lt;= '[%2]' ) S PIVOT ( Sum(Amount) FOR [Month] IN ('+@listCol+') ) AS pvt ' -------------------------------------------- /*Section 4*/ EXECUTE (@query) </code></pre>

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.
