                                          | You can use the PIVOT operator to get the result you are looking for, except for one thing - you need a column that identifies all the rows associated with a student.  I would have thought that that identifier would be stid, but in your example there are 3 student id's 255, 179, and 180. So that cannot be it. Is there another column that allows you to group the rows for a given student together?  |
