What I want is to pass a complete range of dates in the Pivot "IN" clause. But what i am doing is that using the values only that i am getting from database.

For ex.

Suppose if user select the From date as '10/10/2015' and To date as '10/15/2015' then I want to use all the values (10/10/2015,10/11/2015,10/12/2015,10/13/2015,10/14/2015,10/15/2015)

But what is happening from my query is ('10/10/2015','10/15'2015')

Now the data is coming like this:

M_NAME PHONE JOB_ID Assigned_DATE SHIFT Assignment E_ID EMP_NAME DEPT_COLOR '10/10/2015' '10/15/2015'

But I want like this:

M_NAME PHONE JOB_ID Assigned_DATE SHIFT Assignment E_ID EMP_NAME DEPT_COLOR '10/10/2015' '10/11/2015' '10/12/2015' '10/13/2015' '10/14/2015' '10/15/2015'

What I have tried:

SQL

SELECT * FROM 
             (
 SELECT 
  Employee.M_NAME AS MANAGER_NAME,
  Employee.PHONE,
  Employee.JOB_ID,
  Employee.Assigned_DATE,
  Employee.SHIFT,
  Employee.Dept as Assignment, 
  Employee.E_ID, 
  Employee.NAME AS EMP_NAME,
  Employee.DEPT_COLOR
  FROM  Employee
  WHERE Assigned_Date BETWEEN
  TO_DATE('FD_Selected','MM/DD/YYYY') AND
  TO_DATE('TD_Selected','MM/DD/YYYY')
  ORDER by Employee.E_ID
             ) x
             PIVOT 
             (
                 min(Assignment)
                 FOR Assigned_Date IN (TO_DATE('FD_Selected','YYYY-MM-DD'),
                                      TO_DATE('TD_Selected','YYYY-MM-DD')
              )
          ) p

As far as I know you cannot define the PIVOT clause to use dynamic amount of columns. You need to define each returned column explicitly. So in your example the SQL should look like

SQL

SELECT * FROM (
 SELECT 
  Employee.M_NAME AS MANAGER_NAME,
  Employee.PHONE,
  Employee.JOB_ID,
  Employee.Assigned_DATE,
  Employee.SHIFT,
  Employee.Dept as Assignment, 
  Employee.E_ID, 
  Employee.NAME AS EMP_NAME,
  Employee.DEPT_COLOR
  FROM  Employee
  WHERE Assigned_Date BETWEEN TO_DATE('FD_Selected','MM/DD/YYYY') 
                      AND TO_DATE('TD_Selected','MM/DD/YYYY')
  ORDER by Employee.E_ID
  ) x
  PIVOT (
     min(Assignment)
     FOR Assigned_Date IN (TO_DATE('10/10/2015', 'YYYY-MM-DD'),
                           TO_DATE('10/11/2015', 'YYYY-MM-DD'),
                           TO_DATE('10/12/2015', 'YYYY-MM-DD'),
                           TO_DATE('10/13/2015', 'YYYY-MM-DD'),
                           TO_DATE('10/14/2015', 'YYYY-MM-DD'),
                           TO_DATE('10/15/2015', 'YYYY-MM-DD'))
  )
) p

In other words you need to build the dynamic portion when building the SQL statement itself.
