Hi,

I have a table in the following format. It has set of Actions and start and end date . There are multiple rows per UniqueAppNum.
I want one row per AppNum and columns for specific action and time taken for application to move from one Action to other.

Table is like this
238421-capture.png

Result is like this
238370-result.png

ACT2 column will have time elapsed between ACT1 Startdate and ACT2 Enddate
ACT4 column will have time elapsed between ACT2 Startdate and ACT4 EndDate
ACT5 column will have time elapsed between ACT4 Startdate and ACT5 EndDate

Application 2 has no ACT5 so the column is NULL. 

  DECLARE @LOCAL_TABLEVARIABLE TABLE  
	(UniqueAppNum VARCHAR(1000),   
	 ActionName VARCHAR(1000),   
	 StartDate Datetime,  
	 EndDate   Datetime,  
	 [StatusName] VARCHAR(100)  
	)  
	Insert into @LOCAL_TABLEVARIABLE  values  
	( 'APP1','ACT1','2022-03-27 00:10:15.000'  ,'2022-03-27 00:11:00.000'  ,'Init' ),  
	( 'APP1','ACT2','2022-03-27 00:11:01.000'  ,'2022-03-27 00:11:08.000' ,'ST2'),

    Hi @John K
    Try this: 

    ;WITH CTE AS  
(  
 SELECT UniqueAppNum,ActionName+'-'+C.TAG AS New_Column,C.TIME    
 FROM @LOCAL_TABLEVARIABLE CROSS APPLY(VALUES(StartDate,'StartDate'),(EndDate,'EndDate'))C(TIME,TAG)  
)  
SELECT UniqueAppNum  
      ,CAST([ACT2-Enddate]-[ACT1-Startdate] AS TIME) AS ACT2  
	  ,CAST([ACT4-EndDate]-[ACT2-Startdate] AS TIME) AS ACT4  
	  ,CAST([ACT5-EndDate]-[ACT4-Startdate] AS TIME) AS ACT5  
FROM CTE  
PIVOT(MAX(TIME) FOR New_Column IN ([ACT1-Startdate],[ACT2-Enddate],[ACT2-Startdate],[ACT4-EndDate],[ACT4-Startdate],[ACT5-EndDate]))P

    Note: the result image you post doesn't match the logic you described, please check that.
    For example, ACT5 column will have time elapsed between ACT4 Startdate and ACT5 EndDate, which is '2022-03-27 00:12:33.000' - '2022-03-27 00:11:16.000' = '00:01:17.000'. But in the image, it is '00:00:18'

    Best regards,

    I find it more straight forward to do this via a self-join: 

         SELECT act1.UniqueAppNum,   
		CAST(act2.EndDate-act1.StartDate as TIME) as ACT2,  
		CAST(act4.EndDate-act2.StartDate as TIME) as ACT4,  
		CAST(act5.EndDate-act4.StartDate as TIME) as ACT5  
	 FROM @LOCAL_TABLEVARIABLE act1  
		LEFT OUTER JOIN @LOCAL_TABLEVARIABLE act2  
			ON act1.UniqueAppNum = act2.UniqueAppNum  
			AND act2.ActionName = 'ACT2'  
		LEFT OUTER JOIN @LOCAL_TABLEVARIABLE act3  
			ON act1.UniqueAppNum = act3.UniqueAppNum  
			AND act3.ActionName = 'ACT3'  
		LEFT OUTER JOIN @LOCAL_TABLEVARIABLE act4  
			ON act1.UniqueAppNum = act4.UniqueAppNum  
			AND act4.ActionName = 'ACT4'  
		LEFT OUTER JOIN @LOCAL_TABLEVARIABLE act5  
			ON act1.UniqueAppNum = act5.UniqueAppNum  
			AND act5.ActionName = 'ACT5'  
  
	 WHERE act1.ActionName = 'ACT1'
