Easier way of building pivot tables in MS SQL Server

Dear All

I am very new to MS SQL Server and I am wondering is there some tool
which would allow me to build pivot tables in SQL more easily. At the
moment writing a query can be quite challenging and difficult.

Is there any software which allows you to do it more intuitively and
gives you some visual feedback about query you are building?

I would be very grateful for any help with this.

I'm creating a pivot table using vb.net and the data is from sqlserver (desktop). I have been successful at creating the pivot table, which includes a 'date' column field.

After a brief search, I didn't find any python package related to OLAP and pivot tables. Did I miss anything ? To be more precise, I'm not so interested in a full-blown OLAP server with an RDBMS backend, but rather a pythonic API for constructing datacubes in memory, slicing and dicing them, drilling down or up dimensions and exposing them in some suitable form to a presentation layer. I've hacked a first cut of a pivot table...

I've got something called "Reference Rates". The idea is that on a given day, we have various rates of return for various entities. e.g. Libor 3-month return, Libor 6-month return, US Treasury Bonds, the Prime rate, and so-forth. We associate a security with one of those rates. There are a set of rates for each calendar day, and the rates for that
