How to pivot rows into columns (custom pivoting)

Question

I have a Sql Database table similar to the following:

Day   Period    Subject

Mon   1         Ch
Mon   2         Ph
Mon   3         Mth
Mon   4         CS
M         


        

Answer 1

DECLARE @TIMETABLE TABLE (
    [Day]       CHAR(3),
    [Period]    TINYINT,
    [Subject]   CHAR(5)
)
INSERT INTO @TIMETABLE([Day], [Period], [Subject])
VALUES
    ('Mon', 1, 'Ch'),
    ('Mon', 2, 'Ph'),
    ('Mon', 3, 'Mth'),
    ('Mon', 4, 'CS'),
    ('Mon', 5, 'Lab1'),
    ('Mon', 6, 'Lab2'),
    ('Mon', 7, 'Lab3'),
    ('Tue', 1, 'Ph'),
    ('Tue', 2, 'Ele'),
    ('Tue', 3, 'Hu'),
    ('Tue', 4, 'Ph'),
    ('Tue', 5, 'En'),
    ('Tue', 6, 'CS2'),
    ('Tue', 7, 'Mth')

SELECT 
    [Day],
    MAX(CASE [Period] WHEN 1 THEN [Subject] END) AS P1,
    MAX(CASE [Period] WHEN 2 THEN [Subject] END) AS P2,
    MAX(CASE [Period] WHEN 3 THEN [Subject] END) AS P3,
    MAX(CASE [Period] WHEN 4 THEN [Subject] END) AS P4,
    MAX(CASE [Period] WHEN 5 THEN [Subject] END) AS P5,
    MAX(CASE [Period] WHEN 6 THEN [Subject] END) AS P6,
    MAX(CASE [Period] WHEN 7 THEN [Subject] END) AS P7
FROM @TIMETABLE
GROUP BY [Day]
