Problem:

Convert the following source data into a schema shown below:

Solution:

Here’s the code that uses PIVOT function to get to the solution, please use this as a starting point.

Note the use of aggregation function avg – this will depend on the requirement. In the example, the Test_value need to be average if more than one tests were performed.

[code language=”SQL”]

— source data
SELECT [Product_ID],[Test_Desc],[Test_Val] FROM [dbo].[Address]
go

— Destination data using PIVOT function
select * from [dbo].[Address]
pivot( avg(test_val) for test_Desc IN (Test1,Test2,Test3,Test4,Test5))
as Tests

[/code]
