Not able to display correct data using pivot table - sql-server

Question

Table structure:
This is the data for which i want to use pivot table
i want to display the result as
Teacher Activity [2013-11-22] and so on The date field will display the count of the attendance.
Below is the code which i am using, result is coming as 0 under every date, which is not correct:
DECLARE #temp AS TABLE(dates datetime)
;with cte (datelist, maxdate) as
(
select DATEADD(dd,-3,GETDATE()), GETDATE()
union all
select dateadd(dd, 1, datelist), maxdate
from cte
where datelist < maxdate
)
INSERT INTO #temp
SELECT c.datelist
FROM cte c
DECLARE #listdate nvarchar(MAX)
SELECT #listdate = (select(STUFF( (SELECT ', ' + QUOTENAME(convert(CHAR(10), dates, 120))
from #temp ORDER BY dates asc
FOR XML PATH('')),1, 1, '')))
print #listdate
exec('(SELECT * INTO ##temptable from
(select distinct teachername as Teacher,activityname AS Activity,memberid as attendance,
QUOTENAME(convert(CHAR(10), attendancedate, 120)) AS DATES from
tbteachertimelog inner join tbteacher on
teacherid = tbteacher.id
inner join tbactivity on tbactivity.id = tbteachertimelog.activityid
left join tbattendance on tbattendance.activityid = tbteachertimelog.activityid and
convert(CHAR(10), tbattendance.attendancedate, 120) = convert(CHAR(10), tbteachertimelog.date, 120)
group by teachername,activityname,memberid,
attendancedate
) p
PIVOT
(
count(attendance)
FOR DATES IN ('+#listdate+')) AS pvt
)
')
alter table ##temptable add TotalStudents int,meetings int,total64 int
update ##temptable set TotalStudents =
(SELECT SUM(memcount) FROM (select count(distinct memberid) as memcount from tbteachertimelog
inner join tbattendance on tbattendance.activityid = tbteachertimelog.activityid and
convert(CHAR(10), tbattendance.attendancedate, 120) = convert(CHAR(10), tbteachertimelog.date, 120)
where --teacherid = ##temptable.teacherid and tbteachertimelog.activityid = ##temptable.activityid
--and
tbattendance.attendancedate >= dateadd(dd,-7,getdate()) and tbattendance.attendancedate <= getdate()
group by convert(CHAR(10), tbattendance.attendancedate, 120)) x)
update ##temptable set meetings =
(select count(distinct convert(CHAR(10), tbattendance.attendancedate, 120)) as dayscount from tbteachertimelog
inner join tbattendance on tbattendance.activityid = tbteachertimelog.activityid and
convert(CHAR(10), tbattendance.attendancedate, 120) = convert(CHAR(10), tbteachertimelog.date, 120)
where teacherid = ##temptable.teacherid and tbteachertimelog.activityid = ##temptable.activityid)
select * from ##temptable
drop table ##temptable

Answer 1

The problem is with the following line in your subquery:
QUOTENAME(convert(CHAR(10), attendancedate, 120)) AS DATES
The QUOTENAME is required when you are creating the list of dates as the column headers but since you added this to your subquery your dates in the table appear:
DATES
[2013-11-22]
[2013-11-23]
[2013-11-24]
But you want the dates being returned inside your subquery should be without the brackets:
DATES
2013-11-22
2013-11-23
2013-11-24
The PIVOT function is looking for dates that match your data but since you have the dates surrounded with square brackets you don't get any matches, as a result you are returning zeros for everything.
Your columns don't match your data because of the bracket -- for example:
Header -- YourDate
2013-11-22 -- does not match [2013-11-22]
2013-11-23 -- does not match [2013-11-23]
2013-11-24 -- does not match [2013-11-24]
The query should be:
exec('
with data as
(
SELECT *
from
(
select distinct teachername as Teacher,
activityname AS Activity,
memberid as attendance,
convert(CHAR(10), attendancedate, 120) AS DATES
from tbteachertimelog
inner join tbteacher
on teacherid = tbteacher.id
inner join tbactivity
on tbactivity.id = tbteachertimelog.activityid
inner join tbattendance
on tbattendance.activityid = tbactivity.id
) p
PIVOT
(
count(attendance)
FOR DATES IN ('+#listdate+')
) AS pvt
)
select *
from data
')
