Is it possible to PIVOT on a LIKE statement

Is it possible to group by elements (as in COLUMN LIKE='Value%') in a PIVOT table? I have a table [DBT].[Status] which contains various statuses (of databases, instances, etc.) and don't want to pivot/query all the PROD and TEST values as single values, but group them.

E.g. Instead of having columns for the statuses Prod, Prod ACC, Prod APP, .. etc. I would have only one column containing the values for Name LIKE 'Prod%' and Name LIKE 'Test%'.

What I have so far:

Table Definition

CREATE TABLE [DBT].[Status](
    [ID] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
    [Name] [nvarchar](50) NOT NULL,
 CONSTRAINT [PK_Status] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED 
(
    [ID] ASC
)WITH (PAD_INDEX = OFF, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON, FILLFACTOR = 80) ON [PRIMARY],
 CONSTRAINT [IX_Status] UNIQUE NONCLUSTERED 
(
    [Name] ASC
)WITH (PAD_INDEX = OFF, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON, FILLFACTOR = 80) ON [PRIMARY]
) ON [PRIMARY]

GO

Table Values

INSERT INTO [DBT].[Status]
(
    -- ID -- this column value is auto-generated
    Name
)
VALUES
('Test ACC'),
('Test APP'),
('Test DBA'),
('Prod ACC'),
('Prod APP'),
('Prod DBA'),
('Prod'),
('Test'),
('Migrated'),
('Offline'),
('Reserved')

The Pivoted Status Table

SELECT 'Database Status' AS [DB Status], 
[1] AS [Test ACC], [2] AS [Test APP], [3] AS [Test DBA], [4] AS [Prod ACC], [5] AS [Prod APP], [6] AS [Prod DBA], [7] AS [Prod], [8] AS [Test], [9] AS [Migrated], [10] AS [Offline], [11] AS [Reserved] 
FROM 
(
    SELECT ID, Name  FROM [DBT].[Status]
) AS Source
PIVOT
(
    COUNT(Name) FOR ID IN ([1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8], [9], [10], [11])
) AS PivotTable

Output So Far

```
DB Status Test ACC Test APP Test DBA Prod ACC Prod APP Prod DBA Prod Test Migrated Offline Reserved
--------------- ----------- ----------- ----------- -----------

SUM(CASE

For a limited number of Names you can use a SUM(CASE solution in this way:

SELECT 
    'Database status' as [DB Status],
    SUM(CASE WHEN Name LIKE 'Test%' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) As Test,
    SUM(CASE WHEN Name LIKE 'Prod%' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS Prod,
    SUM(CASE WHEN Name = 'Migrated' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS Migrated,
    SUM(CASE WHEN Name = 'Offline' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS Offline,
    SUM(CASE WHEN Name = 'Reserved' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS Reserved
FROM 
    [Status];

PIVOT

If there is an extensive list of Names but only few of them must be rewritten you can maintain the PIVOT solution:

SELECT 'Database Status' AS [DB Status],
[Test], [Prod], [Migrated], [Offline], [Reserved]
FROM
(
    SELECT 
        ID, 
        CASE
            WHEN Name LIKE 'Test%' THEN 'Test'
            WHEN Name LIKE 'Prod%' THEN 'Prod'
            ELSE Name
        END AS Name
    FROM 
        [Status]
) AS Source
PIVOT
(
    COUNT(ID) FOR Name IN ([Test], [Prod], [Migrated], [Offline], [Reserved])
) AS PivotTable;

DYNAMIC QUERY

If you feel a bit lazy and don't want to write all column names, you can use a dynamic query:

DECLARE @cols nvarchar(max);

SET @cols = STUFF((SELECT DISTINCT ',' + QUOTENAME(CASE WHEN Name LIKE 'Test%' THEN 'Test'
                                                    WHEN Name LIKE 'Prod%' THEN 'Prod'
                                                    ELSE Name END)
                   FROM [Status]
                   FOR XML PATH(''), TYPE).value('.', 'NVARCHAR(MAX)'), 1, 1, '');

DECLARE @cmd nvarchar(max);

SET @cmd = 
'SELECT ''Database Status'' AS [DB Status],' + @cols + ' FROM
    (SELECT 
        ID, 
        CASE
            WHEN Name LIKE ''Test%'' THEN ''Test''
            WHEN Name LIKE ''Prod%'' THEN ''Prod''
            ELSE Name
        END AS Name
    FROM 
        [Status]
) AS Source
PIVOT
(
    COUNT(ID) FOR Name IN (' + @cols + ')
) PVT'

EXEC(@cmd);
