I have a view based on query:
SELECT CONVERT(VARCHAR(10), date, 103) AS date,
eventid, name, time, pts
FROM results
WHERE DATEPART(yy, date) = 2019;
This provides a data set such as this:
Date EventID Name Time Points
24/04/2019 10538 Fred Flintstone 22:27 10
24/04/2019 10538 Barney Rubble 22:50 9
24/04/2019 10538 Micky Mouse 23:17 8
24/04/2019 10538 Yogi Bear 23:54 7
24/04/2019 10538 Donald Duck 24:07 6
01/05/2019 10541 Barney Rubble 21:58 10
01/05/2019 10541 Fred Flintstone 22:00 9
01/05/2019 10541 Donald Duck 23:39 8
01/05/2019 10541 Yogi Bear 23:43 7
12/06/2019 10569 Fred Flintstone 22:06 10
12/06/2019 10569 Barney Rubble 22:22 9
12/06/2019 10569 Micky Mouse 23:05 8
12/06/2019 10569 Donald Duck 23:55 7
I need an output row for each name listing the pts per round and a total in the form:
Name 24/04/2019 01/05/2019 12/06/2019 total
Fred Flintstone 10 9 10 29
Barney Rubble 9 10 9 28
Yogi Bear 7 7 7 21
Micky Mouse 8 8 16
Donald Duck 6 8 14
There could be up to 16 non-consecutive event dates for the year.
Nothing wrong with PIVOT but, for me, the easiest and most performant way to do this would be to perform a Cross Tab. The syntax is less verbose, more portable, and easier to understand.
First for some DDL and easily consumable sample data. <<< Learn how to do this it will get you better answers more quickly.
SET NOCOUNT ON;
SET DATEFORMAT dmy; -- I need this because I'm American
-- DDL and easily consumable sample data
DECLARE @Results TABLE
(
[Date] DATE,
EventId INT,
[Name] VARCHAR(40), -- if indexed, go as narrow as possible
[Time] TIME,
Points INT,
INDEX uq_poc_results CLUSTERED([Name],[EventId]) -- a covering index is vital for a query like this
); -- note: ^^^ this bad clustered index candidate, I went this route for simplicity
INSERT @Results VALUES
('4/04/2019', 10538, 'Fred Flintstone', '22:27',10),
('24/04/2019',10538, 'Barney Rubble', '22:50',9),
('24/04/2019',10538, 'Micky Mouse ', '23:17',8),
('24/04/2019',10538, 'Yogi Bear', '23:54',7),
('24/04/2019',10538, 'Donald Duck', '2307',6),
('01/05/2019',10541, 'Barney Rubble', '21:58',10),
('01/05/2019',10541, 'Fred Flintstone', '22:00',9),
('01/05/2019',10541, 'Donald Duck', '23:39',8),
('01/05/2019',10541, 'Yogi Bear', '23:43',7),
('12/06/2019',10569, 'Fred Flintstone', '22:06',10),
('12/06/2019',10569, 'Barney Rubble', '22:22',9),
('12/06/2019',10569, 'Micky Mouse', '23:05',8),
('12/06/2019',10569, 'Donald Duck', '23:55',7);
Note that I created a clustered index on (Name,EventId) - I would use a non-clustered index that covered the columns you need in the real world. If you have a lot of rows then you will want that index.
Basic Cross-Tab
SELECT [Name] = r.[Name],
[24/04/2019] = MAX(CASE r.[Date] WHEN '24/04/2019' THEN r.Points ELSE 0 END),
[01/05/2019] = MAX(CASE r.[Date] WHEN '01/05/2019' THEN r.Points ELSE 0 END),
[12/06/2019] = MAX(CASE r.[Date] WHEN '12/06/2019' THEN r.Points ELSE 0 END)
FROM @Results AS r
GROUP BY r.[Name];
Results:
Name 24/04/2019 01/05/2019 12/06/2019
-------------------- ------------ ------------ ------------
Barney Rubble 9 10 9
Donald Duck 6 8 7
Fred Flintstone 0 9 10
Micky Mouse 8 0 8
Yogi Bear 7 7 0
To get the total we can wrap this in logic in a subquery and add the columns like this:
SELECT
[Name] = piv.N,
[24/04/2019] = piv.D1,
[01/05/2019] = piv.D2,
[12/06/2019] = piv.D3,
Total = piv.D1+piv.D2+piv.D3
FROM
(
SELECT r.[Name],
MAX(CASE r.[Date] WHEN '24/04/2019' THEN r.Points ELSE 0 END),
MAX(CASE r.[Date] WHEN '01/05/2019' THEN r.Points ELSE 0 END),
MAX(CASE r.[Date] WHEN '12/06/2019' THEN r.Points ELSE 0 END)
FROM @Results AS r
GROUP BY r.[Name]
) AS piv(N,D1,D2,D3);
Returns:
Name 24/04/2019 01/05/2019 12/06/2019 Total
------------------- ----------- ----------- ----------- -------
Barney Rubble 9 10 9 28
Donald Duck 6 8 7 21
Fred Flintstone 0 9 10 19
Micky Mouse 8 0 8 16
Yogi Bear 7 7 0 14
Not only does this get you what you need with very little SQL, you benefit from pre-aggregation inside the subquery. A huge benefit of this approach over PIVOT is how you can do multiple aggregations in one query. Below are two examples of how to use this approach for multiple aggregations; this first using a standard GROUP BY twice, the other using window aggregate functions (.. OVER (partition by, order by..):
--==== Traditional Approach
SELECT
[Name] = piv.N,
[24/04/2019] = MAX(piv.D1),
[01/05/2019] = MAX(piv.D2),
[12/06/2019] = MAX(piv.D3),
Total = MAX(f.Ttl),
Avg1 = AVG(piv.D1), -- 1st date (24/04/2019)
Avg2 = AVG(piv.D2), -- 2nd date...
Avg3 = AVG(piv.D3), -- 3rd date...
TotalAvg = AVG(f.Ttl) ,
Mn = MIN(f.Ttl) ,
Mx = MAX(f.Ttl)
FROM
(
SELECT r.[Name],
MAX(CASE r.[Date] WHEN '24/04/2019' THEN r.Points ELSE 0 END),
MAX(CASE r.[Date] WHEN '01/05/2019' THEN r.Points ELSE 0 END),
MAX(CASE r.[Date] WHEN '12/06/2019' THEN r.Points ELSE 0 END)
FROM @Results AS r
GROUP BY r.[Name]
) AS piv(N,D1,D2,D3)
CROSS APPLY (VALUES(piv.D1+piv.D2+piv.D3)) AS f(Ttl)
GROUP BY piv.N;
--==== Leveraging Window Aggregates
SELECT
[Name] = piv.N,
[24/04/2019] = piv.D1,
[01/05/2019] = piv.D2,
[12/06/2019] = piv.D3,
Total = f.Ttl,
Avg1 = AVG(piv.D1) OVER(PARTITION BY piv.N ORDER BY (SELECT NULL)), -- 1st date (24/04/2019)
Avg2 = AVG(piv.D2) OVER(PARTITION BY piv.N ORDER BY (SELECT NULL)), -- 2nd date...
Avg3 = AVG(piv.D3) OVER(PARTITION BY piv.N ORDER BY (SELECT NULL)), -- 3rd date...
TotalAvg = AVG(f.Ttl) OVER(PARTITION BY piv.N ORDER BY (SELECT NULL)),
Mn = MIN(f.Ttl) OVER(PARTITION BY piv.N ORDER BY (SELECT NULL)),
Mx = MAX(f.Ttl) OVER(PARTITION BY piv.N ORDER BY (SELECT NULL))
FROM
(
SELECT r.[Name],
MAX(CASE r.[Date] WHEN '24/04/2019' THEN r.Points ELSE 0 END),
MAX(CASE r.[Date] WHEN '01/05/2019' THEN r.Points ELSE 0 END),
MAX(CASE r.[Date] WHEN '12/06/2019' THEN r.Points ELSE 0 END)
FROM @Results AS r
GROUP BY r.[Name]
) AS piv(N,D1,D2,D3)
CROSS APPLY (VALUES(piv.D1+piv.D2+piv.D3)) AS f(Ttl);
Both Return:
Name 24/04/2019 01/05/2019 12/06/2019 Total Avg1 Avg2 Avg3 TotalAvg Mn Mx

To handle the columns dynamically you need to have a look at: Cross Tabs and Pivots, Part 2 - Dynamic Cross Tabs by Jeff Moden.
