How do I pivot this SQL result? - sql-server

Question

Whats the best way to PIVOT this SQL result? I was wondering if the count(*) can be done as part of the pivot instead of having to group the data prior?
SELECT
e.fullname,
e.BusinessUnit,
COUNT(*) as total
FROM EmpComplaints e
WHERE e.BusinessUnit in ('1-Sales', '2-Tech', '3-Marketing')
GROUP BY e.fullname, e.BusinessUnit
order by e.fullname, e.BusinessUnit
I am basically reporting on each employee the amount of reports they have in each of the three business units: sales, tech, marketing. and looking to get a result that will list fullnames on the left with each name appearing once and each name having a column for ('1-Sales', '2-Tech', '3-Marketing') with a number in it that would be the count(*)

Answer 1

Is this MS SQL Server? This might work, sorry, don't have it running, so can't verify:
select fullname,
sum(case BusinessUnit when '1-Sales' then 1 else 0 end) as Sales,
sum(case BusinessUnit when '2-Tech' then 1 else 0 end) as Tech,
sum(case BusinessUnit when '3-Marketing' then 1 else 0 end) as Marketing
FROM EmpComplaints
GROUP BY fullname;

Answer 2

Here is how to do it in SQL Server 2005/2008:
SELECT
FullName
,[1-Sales]
,[2-Tech]
,[3-Marketing]
FROM
(
SELECT
e.fullname,
e.BusinessUnit,
COUNT(*) AS Total
FROM EmpComplaints e
WHERE e.BusinessUnit in ('1-Sales', '2-Tech', '3-Marketing')
GROUP BY e.fullname,e.BusinessUnit
) AS bu
PIVOT
(
SUM(Total)
FOR BusinessUnit IN ([1-Sales], [2-Tech], [3-Marketing])
) AS pvt
ORDER by fullname
