Create a temp table with columns:

Category , Apple, banana , peas

Insert distinct categories in to the temp table.

then loop thru the original table to update temp table inside the loop.

eg:

If Diagnosis='Apple'

update temptable set Apple='Y' where category = @categoty

If Diagnosis='banana'

update temptable set banana='Y' where category = @categoty

If Diagnosis='peas'

update temptable set peas='Y' where category = @categoty

Select * from temptable

Would this be what you mean?

SELECTCASE WHEN(COUNT(CASE WHEN Diagnosis = 'Apple' THEN 1 END) = 1) THEN 'yes' ELSE 'no' END AS [Apple],

CASE WHEN(COUNT(CASE WHEN Diagnosis = 'Banana' THEN 1 END) = 1) THEN 'yes' ELSE 'no' END AS [Banana],

CASE WHEN(COUNT(CASE WHEN Diagnosis = 'Peas' THEN 1 END) = 1) THEN 'yes' ELSE 'no' END AS [peas]

FROM test2

GROUP by Category
