Solution 1

Yes, it is possible to achieve that on squery level. See: Using PIVOT and UNPIVOT - SQL Server | Microsoft Docs[^]

Then... in c#:
1. Open SqlConnection[^]
2. Create SqlCommand[^] (with pivot query)
3. Create SqlDataReader[^] by calling command.ExecuteReader() method
4. Load data into DataTable[^] object.

That's all!
Good luck!

This is not what I am looking for. I am looking to get Excel pivot result using the only a query.

Sorry, but you have stated that you're looking for a way to "implement the excel like pivot table functionality using SQL query".

Do you want to create a pivot table in Excel file based on existing in that file data?

Please, be more specific and provide more details.

I wanted to achieve the same functionality as excel pivoting using the sql query.
