Display multiple rows as one record

Hello,
I have sales history stored in a table in the following format:
Customer Year Sales
1 2006 5000
1 2005 8000
1 2004 2000
2 2006 6000
2 2005 10000
2 2004 20000
Can someone give me an example of a query that would output the data like
this:
Customer 2006Sales 2005Sales 2004Sales
1 5000 8000 2000
2 6000 10000 20000
Thanks in advance.
MikeThe word you're looking for here is PIVOT.

information you can throw a stick at.

For example,
SELECT CustomerID,CASE Year WHEN 2006 THEN Sum(Sales) END '2006Sales'
...,

One method is to do it on the client side... ;)
Another would be to write a nasty query like:
select s.customer,
'sales2006' = sum(s.sales2006),
'sales2005' = sum(s.sales2005),
'sales2004' = sum(s.sales2004)
from
(
select customer
, 'sales2006' = case when year = 2006 then sales else 0 end
, 'sales2005' = case when year = 2005 then sales else 0 end
, 'sales2004' = case when year = 2004 then sales else 0 end
from sales
) s
group by s.customer
See how this works for you...

With all due respect, why would you reinforce the idea that MS
has treated this subject in depth. It is superficial at best. It doesn't
even come up to the level of the Access crosstab. MS needs its
martini shaken not stirred. You do want a better drink don't you?:)

certainly enough to be able to do this type of query. And I agree that the
PIVOT functionality is still really limited because you have to provide the
values you want to pivot over. But it's much better for people to go to the
MSDN site and read through what's written there than to have me say "Here's
a
query...", don't you think?

I know your trying to be helpful and do respect that.My b_t_h is with MS.
I can't believe that they have the arrogance to threat a sophisticated
'enterprise'
to the shallowness of PIVOT.And it doesn't stop there.When a cheap
utility embarrasses the worlds largest software company something is wrong.
Their 2005 product should be a far superior offering.Perhaps humilation and
ridicule will pay dividends.
