    TIA!

    I forgot to mention that this is about Sql statement Pivot tables and not SSRS.

    Hi Jess,

    In T-SQL, PIVOT operator rotates a table-valued expression by turning the unique values from one column in the expression into multiple columns in the output, and performs aggregations where they are required on any remaining column values that are wanted in the final output. So, the fourth record in the original table will be aggregated into the first column rather than a separate column in the output table.
