Question

I have a table that looks like this

Form Name   Quoted   Issued  total
  a           5251     967    100000
  b           145      34     9779
  c           2190     545    420000

I need it to look like this.

           a       b       c
Quoted   5251      145     2190
Issued   967       34      545
Total    10000     9779    420000

How do I pivot the table?

Answer 1

I am sure there are better solutions and this is ugly but it does the job:

SELECT *
FROM 
(
    SELECT FormName, Quoted
    FROM mytable
) data
PIVOT
(
    Max(Quoted) For FormName IN ([a], [b], [c])

) as DataPivot

UNION

SELECT *
FROM 
(
    SELECT FormName, Issued
    FROM mytable
) data
PIVOT
(
    Max(Issued) For FormName IN ([a], [b], [c])

) as DataPivot

UNION

SELECT *
FROM 
(
    SELECT FormName, Total
    FROM mytable
) data
PIVOT
(
    Max(Total) For FormName IN ([a], [b], [c])

) as DataPivot

I advise doing some research on PIVOT it can do a lot. There are lots of answers on SO if you need to dynamically create this type of query.
