If this is urgent then you may getter a quicker response if you post your create table statement, and some sample data in the form of Insert statements..

To post sample data please follow the first link in my signature.

Another option would be to check BOL for UNPIVOT function ...

This is definitely NOT the place to ask urgent questions. I've got a solution for you, but first I'd like to know why this is urgent.

Now the OP know's that there are (at least) two people with a solution ready to post just waiting for a more detailed reply... 😉

Or the UNPIVOT hint pointed him in the right direction (at least one of the directions leading to the expected result....)

I don't know folks... don't kill me for this but he is a newbie, he asked very politely, it wasn't one of those "URGENT, URGENT!!!!" requests that we frequently see, and it sure doesn't look like homework or and interview question.

pmadhavapeddi22,

Some of us have absolutely been beat to death by folks with "URGENT" problems that turn out to be someone with a homework or interview problem so please pardon the response you've gotten. I will say that you can really get a quick and fully tested response in the form of working code if you format your data examples in a readily consumable format. Please see the first link in my signature below for how to do that. I've also included an example in the solution code below. Please read the comments...

--===== This just creates a test table and isn't part of the solution.

-- Most folks want to see the data you post in this form because

-- they like to test their solutions before posting them. See the

-- first link in my signature below for an easy way to do this.

-- It'll also help get your question answered much quicker.

IF OBJECT_ID('TempDB..#TestTable','U') IS NOT NULL

DROP TABLE #TestTable;

CREATE TABLE #TestTable

(

channel VARCHAR(3),

line_of_bus VARCHAR(2),

prod_nm VARCHAR(20)

);

INSERT INTO #TestTable

(channel,line_of_bus,prod_nm)

SELECT 'all', 'C1', 'last year p&c' UNION ALL

SELECT 'all', 'D1', 'busi module' UNION ALL

SELECT 'all', 'd1', 'bus term' UNION ALL

SELECT 'IA' , 'c1', 'exp cum total' UNION ALL

SELECT 'IA' , 'D1', 'busi module';

GO

--===== This is the solution I'd use in 2k5.

-- This works but won't allow the use of a table alias on "Channel".

-- It's also the fastest method that you can use in SQL Server 2005.

WITH

cteFixDataType AS

(

SELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY Channel,line_of_bus,prod_nm) AS RowNum,

Channel,

CAST(line_of_bus AS VARCHAR(20)) AS line_of_bus,

prod_nm

FROM #TestTable

)

SELECT Channel, --can't use fdt table alias on this or BOOM!

up.ColumnValue AS line_of_bus

FROM cteFixDataType fdt

UNPIVOT (ColumnValue FOR ColName IN (fdt.line_of_bus, fdt.prod_nm)) AS up;

The ROW_NUMBER() OVER thingy in the CTE provides the correct order even if dupes are present.

Jeff,

I have a couple of questions:

(1) Who are you, and (2) what have you done with Jeff Moden?

Alternatively:

(1) What kind of tranquilizers are you taking?

(2) Do you have enough to share?

In our defense, despite our questioning the "urgency", we did offer solutions awaiting only his response. I even formatted the sample data for him.

Thank you so much Jeff. You put it way better than what I wanted to say in "The Thread".

God bless you!

It's still me and the tranqs came from "The Thread". There was one post that identified two folks having "urgent" problems... folks helped one and not the other despite the very subtle differences (the one above actually being the least offensive of the two to me) and it just got to me. I've been between jobs for a couple of weeks (I start a new one on Monday) and I haven't been drinking as much coffee as I should. 😛

Thanks Supriya... this one bugged me. Reminded me of why I started helping on this forum... pass my good fortune forward.

I just checked this thread again and figured that OP's last login was on 10/14/2009 9:30:22 AM (assuming, he's not using multiple nicknames).

So he missed all the solutions provided...
