Crosstab?

Would be easier to show than explain what I'm trying to achieve. Please help!

Capture

	if OBJECT_ID('tempdb..#temp') is not null drop table #temp

	Select * 
	into #temp

ORDER BY value

Scott, may I ask for some comments in your code?

Where does my "from/join" goes? Also, why sum is being used when it should count identical values instead.

I have tried playing with it, but because I don't fully understand it, I cannot make it working.

Below is as far as I went, please help.

SELECT
[System_Category].Title,
SUM(CASE WHEN ranking = 'H&S - Low' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS low,
SUM(CASE WHEN ranking = 'H&S - Medium' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS mid,
SUM(CASE WHEN ranking = 'H&S - High' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS high
FROM (
SELECT
MAX(CASE WHEN is_ranking = 1 THEN '' ELSE [System_Category].Title END) AS title,
MAX(CASE WHEN is_ranking = 1 THEN [System_Category].Title ELSE '' END) AS ranking
FROM
----------------
[Envoy].[dbo].[Incident]
JOIN [System_Category_Module] on [System_Category_Module].Module_ID = [Incident].ID
JOIN [System_Category] on [System_Category].ID = [System_Category_Module].Category_ID
----------------
CROSS APPLY (
SELECT CASE WHEN [System_Category].Title IN ('H&S - Low', 'H&S - Medium', 'H&S - High') THEN 1 ELSE 0 END AS is_ranking
) AS alias1
GROUP BY [Incident].ID
) AS derived
GROUP BY [System_Category].Title
ORDER BY [System_Category].Title

Are you not using my code because the first table is specifying values to be used?

then just use this:-

	select * 
	from (
			select a.*,b.value as T  
			from (select value, ID from #temp where value not in ('low','mid','high'))a
			left join (select value, ID from #temp where value in ('low','mid','high')) b on a.ID = b.ID
	) main 
	pivot(count(ID) for T in ([Low],[mid],[high]))pt

Muj9, to be honest, I don't understand your solution even less than Scott's, but great thank you for effort.

May be I just explained it vaguely. Let me pull some 'live' data, maybe this will make more sense.

Just select all the Titles you want to appear as columns in a list like so :-
('H&S - Medium (first Aid injury)','more','more','more') and use this in the query below in both lines where it says in and not in and also use the column heading in the very last line but make sure you warp the Title values in "[" for example in the where clause they would appear in string 'H&S - Medium (first Aid injury)' but in the pivot in it would be like so [H&S - Medium (first Aid injury)]

 select *
 from (
 select a.*,b.Title as T
 from (select Title, Parent_ID from Youtable where Title not in ('H&S - Medium (first Aid injury)','more'))a
 left join (select Title, Parent_ID from Yourtable where Title in ('H&S - Medium (first Aid injury)','more')) b on a.Parent_ID = b.Parent_ID
 ) main
 pivot(count(Parent_ID) for T in ([H&S - Medium (first Aid injury)],[more]))pt

I think you missing 'Moving Plant/Vehicle', 'Housekeeping', etc. - all those under Parent_ID = 136

This is what came up.

in you last line do this

For T in ([H&S - Medium (first Aid injury)],[other values],[more]))pt

copy and paste the code you showed as screen shot and I will amend it

select *
from (
select a.*,b.[System_Category].Title as T

			from (select [System_Category].Title, [System_Category].Parent_ID 
					
					from [Envoy].[dbo].[Incident] JOIN [System_Category_Module] on [System_Category_Module].Module_ID = [Incident].ID 
												  JOIN [System_Category] on [System_Category].ID = [System_Category_Module].Category_ID 
					
					where [System_Category].Title not in ('H&S - Low (No Injury, Minor Injury)','H&S - Medium (first Aid injury)','H&S - High (LTI, Disability, Fatality)'))a
			
			left join (select [System_Category].Title, [System_Category].Parent_ID 
					   
					   from [Envoy].[dbo].[Incident] JOIN [System_Category_Module] on [System_Category_Module].Module_ID = [Incident].ID 
													 JOIN [System_Category] on [System_Category].ID = [System_Category_Module].Category_ID 
					   
					   where [System_Category].Title in ('H&S - Low (No Injury, Minor Injury)','H&S - Medium (first Aid injury)','H&S - High (LTI, Disability, Fatality)')) b on a.[System_Category].Parent_ID = b.[System_Category].Parent_ID
	) main 
	
	pivot(count([System_Category].Parent_ID) for T in ('H&S - Low (No Injury, Minor Injury)','H&S - Medium (first Aid injury)','H&S - High (LTI, Disability, Fatality)'))pt
select *  
from (
 					select 
					a.*,
					b.[System_Category].Title as T
					from (
					select [System_Category].Title, [System_Category].Parent_ID
					from [Envoy].[dbo].[Incident]
					JOIN [System_Category_Module] on [System_Category_Module].Module_ID = [Incident].ID
					JOIN [System_Category] on [System_Category].ID = [System_Category_Module].Category_ID
					where [System_Category].Title not in ('H&S - Low (No Injury, Minor Injury)','H&S - Medium (first Aid injury)','H&S - High (LTI, Disability, Fatality)'))a
left join (
					select 
					[System_Category].Title, 
					[System_Category].Parent_ID 
					from [Envoy].[dbo].[Incident] 
					JOIN [System_Category_Module] on [System_Category_Module].Module_ID = [Incident].ID 
					JOIN [System_Category] on [System_Category].ID = [System_Category_Module].Category_ID 
					where [System_Category].Title in ('H&S - Low (No Injury, Minor Injury)','H&S - Medium (first Aid injury)','H&S - High (LTI, Disability, Fatality)')) b on a.[System_Category].Parent_ID = b.[System_Category].Parent_ID
) main 
	
	pivot(count([System_Category].Parent_ID) for T in ([H&S - Low (No Injury, Minor Injury)],[H&S - Medium (first Aid injury)],[H&S - High (LTI, Disability, Fatality)]))pt

did the above work?

select *  
from (		select 
			a.*,
			b.Title as T
			from (
			select [System_Category].Title, [System_Category].Parent_ID
			from [Envoy].[dbo].[Incident]
			JOIN [System_Category_Module] on [System_Category_Module].Module_ID = [Incident].ID
			JOIN [System_Category] on [System_Category].ID = [System_Category_Module].Category_ID
			where [System_Category].Title not in ('H&S - Low (No Injury, Minor Injury)','H&S - Medium (first Aid injury)','H&S - High (LTI, Disability, Fatality)'))a
left join (
			select 
			[System_Category].Title, 
			[System_Category].Parent_ID 
			from [Envoy].[dbo].[Incident] 
			JOIN [System_Category_Module] on [System_Category_Module].Module_ID = [Incident].ID 
			JOIN [System_Category] on [System_Category].ID = [System_Category_Module].Category_ID 
			where [System_Category].Title in ('H&S - Low (No Injury, Minor Injury)','H&S - Medium (first Aid injury)','H&S - High (LTI, Disability, Fatality)')
			) b on a.[System_Category].Parent_ID = b.[System_Category].Parent_ID
) main 
	
	pivot(count([System_Category].Parent_ID) for T in ([H&S - Low (No Injury, Minor Injury)],[H&S - Medium (first Aid injury)],[H&S - High (LTI, Disability, Fatality)]))pt

now?

select *  
from (		select 
			a.*,
			b.Title as T
			from (
			select [System_Category].Title, [System_Category].Parent_ID
			from [Envoy].[dbo].[Incident]
			JOIN [System_Category_Module] on [System_Category_Module].Module_ID = [Incident].ID
			JOIN [System_Category] on [System_Category].ID = [System_Category_Module].Category_ID
			where [System_Category].Title not in ('H&S - Low (No Injury, Minor Injury)','H&S - Medium (first Aid injury)','H&S - High (LTI, Disability, Fatality)'))a
left join (
			select 
			[System_Category].Title, 
			[System_Category].Parent_ID 
			from [Envoy].[dbo].[Incident] 
			JOIN [System_Category_Module] on [System_Category_Module].Module_ID = [Incident].ID 
			JOIN [System_Category] on [System_Category].ID = [System_Category_Module].Category_ID 
			where [System_Category].Title in ('H&S - Low (No Injury, Minor Injury)','H&S - Medium (first Aid injury)','H&S - High (LTI, Disability, Fatality)')
			) b on a.Parent_ID = b.Parent_ID
) main 
	
	pivot(count([System_Category].Parent_ID) for T in ([H&S - Low (No Injury, Minor Injury)],[H&S - Medium (first Aid injury)],[H&S - High (LTI, Disability, Fatality)]))pt

it should work now
