How Do I Use PIVOT On This Data:?

Question

I have a SQL Server table that looks like this:

RESOURCE |  DESCRIPTION | VALUE
Test A      Name        | Resource A-xyz
Test A   |  Height      | 20
Test A          


        

Answer 1

The resulting column list is based on the ordering you provide within the PIVOT:

SELECT *
FROM Table1
PIVOT(MAX(VALUE) FOR DESCRIPTION IN (Name,Height,Unit,Location,Volume,Width))p

Demo: SQL Fiddle

If you have changing values for DESCRIPTION it's worthwhile to build this query dynamically, there are plenty of good examples for 'dynamic pivot' to be found.
