Single row to multiple columns and rows

99 views Asked by At

I have a SQL Server table called Test with this sample data:

LineNo  BaseJanuary BaseFebruary    BudgetJanuary   BudgetFebruary
1       10000       20000           30000           40000
2       70000       80000           90000           100000

I would like to create the below structure in a SQL Server view (or temporary table etc.) but I'm stuck... any ideas/suggestions would be appreciated!

LineNo  Month       Base    Budget
1       January     10000   30000
2       January     70000   90000
1       February    20000   40000
2       February    80000   100000

Note: The numbers are for example only, the data is dynamic.

CROSS APPLY can be used to UNPIVOT data:

SELECT [LineNo], [Month], Base, Budget
FROM test
CROSS APPLY(VALUES -- unpivot columns into rows
    ('January', BaseJanuary, BudgetJanuary) -- generate row for jan
  , ('February', BaseFebruary, BudgetFebruary) -- generate row for feb
) ca ([Month], Base, Budget)
