Hi Shobana,
U mean pivoting ? Hope you can use case statements as for each column.

Insert into table2
select
case col1 = valA then 1000 end
,case col1 = valB then 2000 end
,case col1 = valC then 3000 end

from table1

Try if this helps

Hi Shobana,

Select a record from Table1 using Cursor method then insert into Table2 using Insert command.

Synatx for Cursor and Insert you can find it in forum or any web site
