Answer 1

Is the data always the same set of field names and years? If so, you might be able to use a UNION query, something like:

Select "Name" as [FName],  max(iif(year="2009",name))as [2009], max(iif(year="2010"
,name)) as [2010], max(iif(year="2011",name)) as [2011], max(iif(year="2012", name)) as [2012] from Table group by FName

Union all Select "Ticker",  max(iif(year="2009",ticker)), max(iif(year="2010"
,ticker)), max(iif(year="2011",ticker)), max(iif(year=-"2012",ticker)) from Table group by FName

Union all Select "ID",  max(iif(year="2009",id)), max(iif(year="2010"
,id)), max(iif(year="2011",is)), max(iif(year="2012",id)) from Table group by FName

Union all Select "Innovation",  max(iif(year="2009",innovation)), max(iif(year="2010"
,innovation)), max(iif(year="2011",innovation)), max(iif(year=-"2012",innovation)) from Table group by FName

 Union all Select "Quality",  max(iif(year="2009",quality)), max(iif(year="2010"
,quality)), max(iif(year="2011",quality)), max(iif(year=-"2012",quality)) from Table group by FName
