Hello,

I have a table named T1 which has data in a column. I have to make that column data to a row data for other table. For example...

ID      Salary

1	 48
2	 80
3	 50
4	 70
5	 85

I have other table T2 with 5 columns A1 to A5. I have to insert the values from T1 to T2 like...

A1  A2  A3  A4  A5
48  80  50  70  85

Heard I can use UNPIVOT and PIVOT. But I am not able to get what I want.

Can anyone please giude me on this?

Thanks,
Vasini

There may well be a better way to do this - I'm only just starting to look at PIVOT - but this works:

SQL

SELECT * FROM T1
PIVOT(MAX(SALARY) FOR ID IN ([1],[2], [3], [4], [5])) p

The 'p' at the end is necessary (the pivot needs a name, even if you don't refer to it again) and the MAX is needed because PIVOT requires an aggregate function.

Solution 1

Try this:

SQL

SELECT [1] AS A1, [2] ASD A2, [3] AS A3, [4] AS A4, [5] AS A5
FROM
(
    SELECT ID, Salary
    FROM SalaryTable
) AS SourceTable
PIVOT
(
    SUM(Salary)
    FOR ID IN ([1], [2], [3], [4], [5])
) AS PivotTable

This is my first attempt using PIVOT[^] so I hope it is correct.
