While M.Ali's answer will get you the result, since you are using SQL Server 2012 I would unpivot the name
and address
columns slightly different to get the final result.
Since you are using SQL Server 2012, you can use CROSS APPLY
with VALUES
to unpivot these multiple columns into multiple rows. But before you do that, I would use row_number()
to get the total number of new columns you will have.
The code to "UNPIVOT" the data using CROSS APPLY looks like:
select d.loanid,
col = c.col + cast(seq as varchar(10)),
c.value
from
(
select loanid, name, address,
row_number() over(partition by loanid
order by loanid) seq
from yourtable
) d
cross apply
(
values
('name', name),
('address', address)
) c(col, value);
See SQL Fiddle with Demo. This is going to get your data into a format similar to:
| LOANID | COL | VALUE |
|--------|----------|----------|
| 1 | name1 | John |
| 1 | address1 | New York |
| 1 | name2 | Carl |
| 1 | address2 | New York |
| 1 | name3 | Henry |
| 1 | address3 | Boston |
You now have a single column COL
with all of your new column names and the values associated are also in a single column. The new column names now have a number at the end (1, 2, 3, etc) based on how many total entries you have per loanid
. Now you can apply PIVOT:
select loanid,
name1, address1, name2, address2,
name3, address3
from
(
select d.loanid,
col = c.col + cast(seq as varchar(10)),
c.value
from
(
select loanid, name, address,
row_number() over(partition by loanid
order by loanid) seq
from yourtable
) d
cross apply
(
values
('name', name),
('address', address)
) c(col, value)
) src
pivot
(
max(value)
for col in (name1, address1, name2, address2,
name3, address3)
) piv;
See SQL Fiddle with Demo. Finally if you don't know how many pairs of Name
and Address
you will have then you can use dynamic SQL:
DECLARE @cols AS NVARCHAR(MAX),
@query AS NVARCHAR(MAX)
select @cols = STUFF((SELECT ',' + QUOTENAME(col+cast(seq as varchar(10)))
from
(
select row_number() over(partition by loanid
order by loanid) seq
from yourtable
) d
cross apply
(
select 'Name', 1 union all
select 'Address', 2
) c (col, so)
group by seq, col, so
order by seq, so
FOR XML PATH(''), TYPE
).value('.', 'NVARCHAR(MAX)')
,1,1,'')
set @query = 'SELECT loanid,' + @cols + '
from
(
select d.loanid,
col = c.col + cast(seq as varchar(10)),
c.value
from
(
select loanid, name, address,
row_number() over(partition by loanid
order by loanid) seq
from yourtable
) d
cross apply
(
values
(''name'', name),
(''address'', address)
) c(col, value)
) x
pivot
(
max(value)
for col in (' + @cols + ')
) p '
exec sp_executesql @query;
See SQL Fiddle with Demo. Both versions give a result:
| LOANID | NAME1 | ADDRESS1 | NAME2 | ADDRESS2 | NAME3 | ADDRESS3 |
|--------|--------|----------|--------|----------|--------|----------|
| 1 | John | New York | Carl | New York | Henry | Boston |
| 2 | Robert | Chicago | (null) | (null) | (null) | (null) |
| 3 | Joanne | LA | Chris | LA | (null) | (null) |
