    Can SQL be used to create a matrix style report?

    I've been doing some research online, mainly Micorsoft but I am not getting good information. I have a database that is buing used for tracking task evaluation levels for employees in an assembly plant. However, upper management wants to see this information, by shop, displayed in each area in a matrix style report. Tasks would be liste at the top, the employee name down the LH side and a number showing what level employee is at for each task listed (1-4.)



    Each shop is currently maintianing their own matrix report in Excel but there has been a request to centralize everything but still be able to maintain the visual mangement style of displaying the information in a matrix style format.

    I've seen references with Report Builder 3.0 but haven't been able to discern if this can be used to create what I need.

    Thanks in advance for any help or guidance you can offer.

    That sounds like a CROSSTAB query.

    Build the Crosstab, then build the report off that.
    Since Crosstabs can change , I'd write the crosstab to a table, then build the report off of that.

    Hi,

    as the question is posed in the SQL server section, I assume the database is on SQL server. Use the SQL reporting services to build the report, you'll see it has a lot of possibilities.

Please reply to this thread with any new information or opinions.
