SQL Server Creating a temp table for this query

Question

I have this query:

DECLARE 
@ProjectID int = 3,
@Year int = 2010,
@MeterTypeID int = 1,
@StartDate datetime,
@EndDate datetime

SET @StartDate = '07/01/' + CAST(@Year as VARCHAR)
SET @EndDate = '06/30/' + CAST(@Year+1 as VARCHAR)

SELECT  tblMEP_Sites.Name AS SiteName, convert(varchar(10),BillingMonth ,101) AS BillingMonth, SUM(Consumption) AS Consumption
FROM tblMEP_Projects

JOIN tblMEP_Sites
ON tblMEP_Projects.ID = tblMEP_Sites.ProjectID

JOIN tblMEP_Meters
ON tblMEP_Meters.SiteID = tblMEP_Sites.ID

JOIN tblMEP_MonthlyData
ON tblMEP_MonthlyData.MeterID = tblMEP_Meters.ID

JOIN tblMEP_CustomerAccounts
ON tblMEP_CustomerAccounts.ID = tblMEP_Meters.CustomerAccountID

JOIN tblMEP_UtilityCompanies
ON tblMEP_UtilityCompanies.ID = tblMEP_CustomerAccounts.UtilityCompanyID

JOIN tblMEP_MeterTypes
ON tblMEP_UtilityCompanies.UtilityTypeID = tblMEP_MeterTypes.ID

WHERE tblMEP_Projects.ID = @ProjectID
AND tblMEP_MonthlyData.BillingMonth Between @StartDate AND @EndDate
AND tbLMEP_MeterTypes.ID = @MeterTypeID
GROUP BY BillingMonth, tblMEP_Sites.Name
ORDER BY month(BillingMonth)

I just want store it in a temp table so that I can do something with it. It would be great if anybody can just include the syntax for creating a temp table in SQL Server.

I tried different ways but I was lost and did not get the result I want.

Answer 1

If you want to just create a temp table inside the query that will allow you to do something with the results that you deposit into it you can do something like the following:

DECLARE @T1 TABLE (
Item 1 VARCHAR(200)
, Item 2 VARCHAR(200)
, ...
, Item n VARCHAR(500)
)

On the top of your query and then do an

INSERT INTO @T1
SELECT
FROM
(...)
