Incorrect syntax near '23011'.

Hi,

Try like this.

select * from (select StudnetAdmissionNumber,
			23011 as Tamil,
                        23012 as English,
                        2013 as Maths,
                        2014 as Science,
                        2015 as SocialScience 
                        from Mark_details) x 
                        pivot (max(MarkObtained) for SubjectId in ('23011','23012','23013','23014','23015')) AS p
