You can also do this (I'm just showing another way to pivot):
;WITH sourceData ([RowID],[Region], [Factor])
AS
(
SELECT '1','Capitol',' Text1' UNION ALL
SELECT '2','Capitol',' Text2' UNION ALL
SELECT '3','Capitol',' Text3' UNION ALL
SELECT '1','Central',' Text4' UNION ALL
SELECT '2','Central',' Text5' UNION ALL
SELECT '3','Central',' Text6' UNION ALL
SELECT '1','North' ,'Text7' UNION ALL
SELECT '2','North' ,'Text8' UNION ALL
SELECT '3','North' ,'Text9'
)
SELECTRowID,
MAX(CASE WHEN Region = 'Capitol' THEN Factor END) AS Capitol,
MAX(CASE WHEN Region = 'Central' THEN Factor END) AS Central,
MAX(CASE WHEN Region = 'North' THEN Factor END) AS North
FROM sourceData
GROUP BY RowID
