SQL Server Pivot Table with Counts and Sums

Question

I am trying to get an SQL Server Pivot table to work that allows me to count and then sum a number of columns (6 in total). The purpose of the pivot table is to aggregate on

Answer 1

A much easier way to perform this query would be to apply both the UNPIVOT and then the PIVOT functions:

select *
from
(
  select Production_Site, value 
  from t_Pqe_Grocery
  unpivot
  (
    value
    for col in (Grocery_Packaging_And_Coding, Grocery_Measurable,
                Grocery_Appearance, Grocery_Aroma, 
                Grocery_Flavour, Grocery_Texture)
  ) unp
) src
pivot
(
  count(value)
  for value in ([Target], [Action], [Fail])
) piv

See SQL Fiddle with Demo

The UNPIVOT takes your column list and transform it into multiple rows which makes it much easier to count:

select Production_Site, value 
from t_Pqe_Grocery
unpivot
(
  value
  for col in (Grocery_Packaging_And_Coding, Grocery_Measurable,
              Grocery_Appearance, Grocery_Aroma, 
              Grocery_Flavour, Grocery_Texture)
) unp

Unpivot Result:

| PRODUCTION_SITE |  VALUE |
----------------------------
|          Site A | Target |
|          Site A | Action |
|          Site A |   Fail |
|          Site A | Target |
|          Site A | Target |
|          Site A | Target |
|          Site B | Target |
|          Site B | Action |
|          Site B |   Fail |
|          Site B | Target |
|          Site B | Target |
|          Site B | Target |
|          Site C | Target |
|          Site C | Target |
|          Site C | Target |
|          Site C | Target |
|          Site C | Target |
|          Site C | Target |
|          Site A | Target |
|          Site A | Target |
|          Site A | Target |
|          Site A | Target |
|          Site A | Target |
|          Site A | Target |

Then applying the PIVOT to this will get the count that you want for each of the PRODUCTION_SITEs. After adding the PIVOT the result is:

| PRODUCTION_SITE | TARGET | ACTION | FAIL |
--------------------------------------------
|          Site A |     10 |      1 |    1 |
|          Site B |      4 |      1 |    1 |
|          Site C |      6 |      0 |    0 |
